The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement across the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers before the title's release, to trainers forming firm opinions on the full lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Super Forms boasting unique appearances that emphasize their personalities, one idea came to mind: How can connect this with zodiac signs? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly chosen for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why Aries far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Remain on the good side of both and benefit from a powerful partner; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, both in its standard and Super Form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the creature and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed passion for treats. Several previous Pokédex entries mention their fondness for tasty sap and how it uses its horn to hoard it all, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Look at this total royalty. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the soul of every party, offering an endless fountain of gossip to anyone who wants to hear. Just like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very simple to envision Mega Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which seems very similar to a people-smart Gemini.

The Crab – Super Manectric

The Crab is widely considered as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a passionate sign known for often getting wrapped up in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's excessive for Manectric to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to create a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you assume I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Fans were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Leo brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be broadcasting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a show, even if for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly critical is strongly mirrored across this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a always shocked expression like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this sweet, sensitive creature, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and striving to keep the peace, there are many Libras who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, to be frank, it would likely just make them worry even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad origin: Discarded as a toy, it became sentient through sheer hatred and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a show. As a Archer personally, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly small jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to predict calamities ahead of time? That gives the identical energy as a Capricorn, who often always think they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Aquarius is arguably the non-flame placement that is most like a flame symbol – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame typing matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating aura is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
