The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm across the fandom. From the gradual reveal of newcomers before the game's launch, to players developing firm opinions on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.

With numerous of the Super Forms showcasing unique designs that highlight their traits, one idea naturally: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is inspired by a mix of vibes, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom appears as always furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Remain on the good side of either and enjoy a strong partner; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Similar to a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its regular and Super Form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the Pokémon and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – be it their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their position to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed love of snacks. Several past Pokédex entries mention their craving for sweet sap and how it uses its horn to collect it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this total queen. You cannot tell me this creature is not the life of any gathering, offering an constant stream of chatter to anyone who wish to listen. Much like an enrapturing, sociable Twins, it's very simple to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to predict an opponent's future actions, which seems very like a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is commonly considered as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign famous for frequently becoming absorbed in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. It is also known for its capability to make a storm cloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the same energy a Lion offers to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a performance, even if for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The sign known for being endearingly critical is clearly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a always shocked expression like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s just like the emoji a Virgo posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic being, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to keep the peace, there are numerous Libras who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to worry more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it became consciousness through pure hatred and swore revenge on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a performance. As a Archer myself, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly small jester” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even mentions how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to predict disasters ahead of time? That gives the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently believe they’re right. Interestingly, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute initial Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-fire sign that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire typing fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall daunting aura is also extremely Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
