The comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement across the fandom. From the gradual reveal of newcomers ahead of the game's release, to players forming strong opinions on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

With numerous of the Super Forms showcasing unique designs that emphasize their traits, one idea came to mind: How can connect this with astrology? The following is based on a blend of vibes, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why the Ram far more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Stay on the friendly side of both and benefit from a strong ally; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its regular and Super Form, has assisted many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their side to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed passion for treats. Many past Pokédex entries note their craving for tasty tree sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it all, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, offering an endless stream of chatter to anyone who wish to hear. Just like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly easy to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an entire Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to predict an opponent's next moves, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

The Crab is widely considered as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol known for often getting absorbed in their emotions. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “huge amount of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. It is also recognized for its ability to make a thundercloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Besides the reality that it would be much too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Leo 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 – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Virgo is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The sign known for being endearingly judgmental is strongly reflected throughout this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down visage that’s just like the emoji a Maiden sends to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a plan.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, sensitive creature, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to keep the harmony, there are many Libras who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to worry more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad backstory: Discarded as a doll, it gained consciousness through pure hatred and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio loves karma and retribution, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a show. As a Archer myself, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful little entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even notes how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to predict calamities in advance? That gives the identical energy as a Goat, who tends to always think they’re right. The thing is, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-flame sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame typing matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting aura is also extremely Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
