The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm within the community. Starting with the gradual unveiling of newcomers before the title's release, to trainers developing firm opinions on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

Given many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing unique appearances that highlight their traits, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? The following is based on a blend of vibes, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why Aries far more akin to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Stay on the good side of either and benefit from a strong ally; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its regular and Mega form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the creature and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their side unwaveringly. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Several previous Pokédex entries note their craving for tasty tree sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it all, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this absolute royalty. You cannot tell me this creature is not the life of every party, providing an constant stream of chatter to those who wants to listen. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly easy to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to predict an opponent's next moves, which seems quite similar to a people-smart Gemini.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a intense sign famous for frequently becoming absorbed in their feelings. According to the official info, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. It is also known for its capability to create a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to pick Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Players were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the same energy a Leo brings to the scene. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a performance, even if for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly judgmental is clearly reflected across this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a always surprised face like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s similar to the emoji a Virgo sends to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a strategy.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, sensitive being, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how others are emotionally by their pulse. Always empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Libras who would probably appreciate Super Audino's abilities. Though, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to worry even more about others.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Abandoned as a doll, it gained sentient through sheer hatred and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio friends. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a performance. Being a Sagittarius personally, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful small entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even notes how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee calamities ahead of time? That exudes the exact same energy as a Goat, who often always believe they’re correct. The thing is, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-fire sign that is most like a flame symbol – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
