This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm within the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of newcomers before the game's release, to trainers developing strong views on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that highlight their traits, one thought naturally: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? The following is based on a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes the Ram far more similar to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of either and benefit from a strong partner; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its regular and Super Form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their position to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Many past official descriptions mention their craving for tasty sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it everything, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. It's impossible to convince me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, providing an constant stream of chatter to anyone who wish to hear. Just like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very easy to imagine Super Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its ability to predict an enemy’s next moves, which sounds quite like a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign famous for often becoming wrapped up in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its capability to create a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being too fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Fans were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the identical vibe a Leo offers to the scene. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly critical is strongly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a always surprised face like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s just like the symbol a Virgo posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this sweet, sensitive being, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to keep the peace, there are many Scales who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to stress even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a creature with a surprisingly sad origin: Abandoned as a toy, it became consciousness through sheer resentment and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio loves karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a show. As a Sagittarius personally, the number of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly little jester” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to predict calamities ahead of time? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Goat, who often consistently think they’re right. Interestingly, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire sign that is most like a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame category matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating presence is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
