The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm within the fandom. From the gradual unveiling of fresh additions ahead of the title's release, to trainers developing strong views on the full roster of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.

With many of the Mega Evolutions boasting distinctive appearances that highlight their traits, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? This list is inspired by a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost selected for Aries, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that inspire the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as always angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Stay on the good side of either and enjoy a strong ally; should you offend them, be ready to face the consequences.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its regular and Super Form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will defend their side to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed passion for treats. Several past Pokédex entries mention their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it uses its horn to hoard it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this total royalty. It's impossible to convince me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, providing an endless stream of gossip to those who wish to hear. Just like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's incredibly simple to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their stories. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its ability to predict an opponent's next moves, which sounds quite similar to a people-smart Twins.

Cancer – Super Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most emotional sign of the astrological wheel, a intense sign known for frequently getting absorbed in their emotions. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to fully control,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to make 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 going to pick Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be far too obvious, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s precisely the identical energy a Lion brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a performance, even if for aliens.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly judgmental is clearly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a always shocked face like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its upside-down 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 strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this sweet, sensitive being, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how others are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are many Scales who would probably appreciate Super Audino's abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to worry even more about others.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Abandoned as a toy, it gained sentient through sheer hatred and vowed retribution on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion adores karma and retribution, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a show. Being a Archer myself, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “playful little entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even notes how it “flexes to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Super Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to foresee calamities ahead of time? That exudes the identical vibe as a Capricorn, who often always think they’re right. The thing is, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting aura is also extremely Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
