This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement within the fandom. From the one-by-one reveal of newcomers ahead of the game's launch, to players developing firm views on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive appearances that highlight their traits, one thought naturally: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? The following is based on a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for Aries, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why the Ram much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Stay on the good side of both and enjoy a strong ally; should you offend them, be ready to face the consequences.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross, whether in its regular and Mega form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed love of treats. Several past Pokédex entries mention their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. It's impossible to convince me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, providing an constant fountain of chatter to those who wish to hear. Just like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very simple to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s official description also mentions its capacity to predict an opponent's future actions, which sounds very similar to a people-smart Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a passionate symbol known for frequently getting absorbed in their emotions. According to the official info, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's excessive for Manectric to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. It is also recognized for its ability to make a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you assume I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the lion of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Fans were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Lion offers to the table. Starmie is also said to be transmitting signals from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a show, albeit for aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly judgmental is strongly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised face like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden sends to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a plan.

Libra – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, sensitive creature, who employs the feelers on its ears to tell how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to maintain the peace, there are many Scales who would likely appreciate Super Audino's skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them stress even more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Abandoned as a toy, it gained consciousness through pure hatred and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a show. Being a Archer personally, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly little entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius match I can imagine.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict disasters in advance? That gives the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to always think they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame sign that is most like a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire typing matches perfectly 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 converts it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
