The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement across the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers before the game's launch, to trainers developing firm views on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

Given many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing distinctive appearances that highlight their traits, one idea naturally: How can link this with zodiac signs? This list is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for Aries, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as always furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why Aries much more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when angered. Stay on the good side of either and benefit from a powerful ally; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Similar to a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross species, both in its regular and Super Form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the creature and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will defend their position unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed passion for treats. Several past Pokédex entries mention their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it uses its horn to collect it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this absolute queen. You cannot tell me this creature is not the life of any gathering, providing an endless stream of gossip to those who wish to hear. Much like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's incredibly easy to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which seems very like a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a passionate sign famous for often becoming absorbed in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “huge amount of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its capability to create a thundercloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to select Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Besides the reality that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Leo offers to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be broadcasting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly critical is clearly reflected across this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a always shocked face like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s just like the symbol a Maiden sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, sensitive creature, who employs the sensors on its ears to detect how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to keep the peace, there are many Libras who would probably benefit from Super Audino's abilities. However, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to worry even more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it became consciousness through sheer resentment and swore retribution on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a performance. As a Archer myself, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful small jester” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even mentions how it “poses to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to predict disasters in advance? That exudes the identical vibe as a Goat, who tends to always think they’re right. Interestingly, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to get in on the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-fire sign that is most like a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire category matches seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating presence is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's description says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
