The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense excitement across the fandom. Starting with the gradual unveiling of fresh additions ahead of the game's launch, to players forming strong views on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Super Forms showcasing unique designs that highlight their traits, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

Aries – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. But, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why the Ram far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Stay on the friendly side of either and enjoy a powerful ally; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its standard and Super Form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their side to the end. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed love of snacks. Many past Pokédex entries note their fondness for tasty sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this total royalty. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, providing an constant fountain of chatter to anyone who wish to hear. Much like an enrapturing, sociable Twins, it's very easy to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s official description also mentions its ability to predict an opponent's future actions, which sounds quite similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a intense sign known for often getting wrapped up in their emotions. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. It is also recognized for its ability to create a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Well, did you assume I was going to select Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be much too obvious, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Leo offers to the scene. This Pokémon 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 performance, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly critical is clearly mirrored across this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a always shocked face like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s just like the symbol a Virgo posts to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic creature, who employs the sensors on its ears to tell how people are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are many Scales who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to stress even more about others.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a creature with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a toy, it gained sentient through pure resentment and swore revenge on its former owner. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio adores karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a show. Being a Sagittarius myself, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly little jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “flexes to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee calamities in advance? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who often consistently believe they’re correct. Interestingly, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame sign that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
