This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement within the fandom. From the gradual reveal of fresh additions before the game's release, to trainers forming strong opinions on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions showcasing unique designs that highlight their traits, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? This list is based on a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for Aries, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes Aries much more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Remain on the friendly side of either and enjoy a strong ally; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its standard and Mega form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the creature and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their side to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed love of snacks. Many previous Pokédex entries mention their fondness for tasty sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this absolute royalty. You cannot convince me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, offering an endless stream of chatter to anyone who wish to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's very easy to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their stories. Medicham’s official description also states its ability to predict an opponent's future actions, which sounds quite like a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a intense sign famous for often getting wrapped up in their feelings. According to the official info, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge amount of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to make a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to pick Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being too fabulous (or horrifying, based on your preference). Fans were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Leo offers to the table. Starmie is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a show, even if for aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly judgmental is clearly mirrored across this creature's entire lineage, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s similar to the emoji a Virgo sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a plan.

The Scales – Super Audino

Observe this sweet, sensitive being, who employs the sensors on its ears to tell how others are feeling by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would probably appreciate Super Audino's abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them stress even more about others.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly sad origin: Abandoned as a doll, it gained sentient through sheer resentment and vowed revenge on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio adores karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a show. Being a Sagittarius personally, the amount of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful small entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even notes 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 think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to predict calamities ahead of time? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to always think they’re correct. The thing is, much like a prophetic 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 join the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is arguably the non-flame placement that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame category fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting aura is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
