The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm within the community. From the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions ahead of the title's release, to trainers developing firm views on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

Given many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing distinctive designs that emphasize their traits, one idea came to mind: How can link this with zodiac signs? The following is inspired by a blend of vibes, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes the Ram far more similar to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Remain on the good side of either and enjoy a strong partner; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross, both in its regular and Mega form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the creature and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position to the end. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed love of snacks. Many previous official descriptions mention their craving for sweet sap and how it uses its horn to hoard it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this total royalty. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, providing an constant fountain of gossip to those who wish to hear. Much like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly simple to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also states its ability to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which seems quite like a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a passionate symbol famous for often becoming absorbed in their emotions. Per the official info, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to make a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you think I was going to pick Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Aside from the fact that it would be far too obvious, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Lion offers to the scene. Starmie is also said to be transmitting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a show, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual acid reflux. The sign famous for being endearingly judgmental is clearly reflected across this creature's entire lineage, from a perpetually surprised face like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Look at this gentle, sensitive creature, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are many Libras who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to worry more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad origin: Abandoned as a toy, it became consciousness through sheer hatred and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpion loves karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly staging a performance. As a Archer myself, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “silly little entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious 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 Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can think of.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee calamities in advance? That gives the identical energy as a Goat, who often consistently believe they’re correct. Interestingly, much like a visionary Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire placement that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being unpredictable accomplices. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting aura is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s description says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
