This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement across the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers ahead of the title's launch, to players forming firm views on the full roster of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.

Given many of the Super Forms showcasing unique designs that emphasize their personalities, one thought naturally: How can connect this with zodiac signs? This list is inspired by a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

Aries – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes the Ram much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of either and enjoy a strong ally; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross, both in its regular and Mega form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the creature and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – be it their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their position to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed love of treats. Many past official descriptions note their fondness for tasty sap and how it employs its horn to collect it all, which is true Taurus energy.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the life of every party, providing an endless fountain of chatter to those who wish to listen. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very easy to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also states its ability to foresee an opponent's next moves, which sounds very similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most emotional sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol known for often getting absorbed in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully control,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to make a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be much too obvious, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Fans were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Leo brings to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a show, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual acid reflux. The sign known for being endearingly critical is clearly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a always surprised face like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, sensitive being, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how others are feeling by their pulse. Always compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are many Libras who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. Though, to be frank, it would probably just make them worry even more about others.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad backstory: Discarded as a toy, it gained consciousness through sheer hatred and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio loves karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a show. Being a Sagittarius personally, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful small entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee calamities in advance? That exudes the identical energy as a Goat, who often always think they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Aquarius is possibly the non-fire placement that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s double Spirit/Flame typing matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting presence is also extremely Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
