This comeback of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm across the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers before the game's launch, to trainers forming firm views on the entire roster of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.

With numerous of the Super Forms boasting unique designs that highlight their traits, one thought naturally: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is inspired by a blend of vibes, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

Aries – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly chosen for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom appears as always angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why Aries far more akin to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when angered. Remain on the friendly side of either and enjoy a strong partner; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its regular and Super Form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the Pokémon and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their position to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed love of treats. Many previous Pokédex entries mention their craving for tasty tree sap and how it employs its horn to collect it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the life of every party, offering an constant stream of chatter to anyone who wish to listen. Much like an captivating, gregarious Gemini, it's incredibly easy to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to predict an enemy’s next moves, which sounds quite like a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Super Manectric

The Crab is widely considered as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a passionate symbol known for often becoming absorbed in their emotions. Per the official info, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous quantity of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to create a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to pick Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Fans were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Leo brings to the scene. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting signals from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a show, even if for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign known for being endearingly judgmental is strongly mirrored throughout this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a always shocked expression like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden sends to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a strategy.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic being, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how others are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to maintain the peace, there are numerous Libras who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to stress more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad backstory: Discarded as a toy, it became sentient through pure hatred and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a show. As a Sagittarius myself, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly little entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to predict disasters in advance? That gives the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to consistently think they’re right. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-flame placement that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire typing fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating aura is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's description says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
