The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm within the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers ahead of the game's launch, to trainers forming firm opinions on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions showcasing unique designs that highlight their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? This list is based on a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for Aries, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as always angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram much more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Stay on the good side of either and enjoy a powerful partner; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its standard and Mega form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the creature and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their position unwaveringly. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed love of snacks. Many previous Pokédex entries note their craving for tasty tree sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this absolute queen. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, offering an constant fountain of chatter to those who wants to hear. Much like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's incredibly simple to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also states its capacity to predict an opponent's next moves, which sounds very similar to a people-smart Gemini.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most emotional sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign known for frequently getting absorbed in their feelings. According to the official info, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. It is also known for its capability to make a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Well, did you assume I was going to select Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be far too on the nose, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, based on your preference). Fans were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the same energy a Leo brings to the scene. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a performance, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The sign known for being endearingly critical is strongly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised face like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden sends to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a plan.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic being, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are many Scales who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. Though, to be frank, it would probably just make them worry even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it gained consciousness through pure resentment and swore retribution on its former owner. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the perfect pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly staging a show. Being a Sagittarius personally, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly small jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to predict disasters in advance? That gives the identical energy as a Goat, who often consistently believe they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Water Bearer is arguably the non-flame placement that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire typing matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting presence is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
