This comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm within the community. From the one-by-one unveiling of fresh additions ahead of the title's launch, to trainers forming firm opinions on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.

With many of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique appearances that emphasize their traits, one thought naturally: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? This list is based on a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for Aries, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes Aries much more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when angered. Stay on the friendly side of both and benefit from a strong ally; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross, both in its standard and Mega form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their side to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed love of snacks. Several past official descriptions note their craving for tasty sap and how it uses its horn to hoard it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Look at this absolute queen. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, providing an constant fountain of chatter to anyone who wish to listen. Just like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very simple to envision Super Medicham captivating an whole open area with their stories. This Pokémon's official description also states its ability to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which sounds quite similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

The Crab is commonly considered as the most emotional sign of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol known for often getting wrapped up in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the creature with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to create a thundercloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the stars? Besides the reality that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the identical energy a Leo offers to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a show, albeit for aliens.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly critical is clearly reflected throughout this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised face like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a strategy.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, sensitive creature, who employs the feelers on its ears to tell how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Always compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to maintain the peace, there are numerous Scales who would likely appreciate Super Audino's abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them worry more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Discarded as a doll, it became sentient through pure hatred and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion adores karma and retribution, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a performance. As a Archer myself, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “playful little entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Super Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to predict disasters ahead of time? That gives the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who often always believe they’re right. Interestingly, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Aloof air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-flame sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire typing matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
