The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense excitement within the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of fresh additions ahead of the title's release, to players forming strong opinions on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Super Forms boasting distinctive appearances that highlight their personalities, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is inspired by a mix of vibes, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost chosen for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes Aries far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Remain on the good side of both and benefit from a powerful ally; if you cross them, prepare to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, both in its standard and Mega form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their position to the end. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed love of snacks. Several previous official descriptions mention their craving for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Look at this total queen. You cannot convince me this creature is not the soul of every party, offering an endless stream of chatter to those who wants to hear. Much like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's very simple to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which sounds very like a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a intense sign known for frequently becoming absorbed in their emotions. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. It is also recognized for its capability to make a thundercloud over its very self – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the lion of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Players were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the identical vibe a Lion offers to the scene. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a performance, even if for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly critical is clearly reflected across this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a always surprised face like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden posts to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a strategy.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic being, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how others are feeling by their pulse. Always compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to keep the peace, there are numerous Libras who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, to be frank, it would likely just make them worry even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Discarded as a doll, it became sentient through sheer resentment and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio adores karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a performance. As a Sagittarius personally, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly little jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can imagine.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to predict calamities ahead of time? That exudes the identical vibe as a Capricorn, who often consistently believe they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire placement that is most like a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless memes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire category matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting presence is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's description says it “draws in hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
