This return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement within the community. Starting with the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers before the game's launch, to players forming strong views on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

Given many of the Super Forms showcasing unique designs that highlight their traits, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? This list is inspired by a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly selected for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes Aries much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of both and enjoy a powerful partner; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross, both in its regular and Mega form, has assisted many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their position to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed passion for treats. Many past Pokédex entries note their craving for sweet tree sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it all, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Look at this total royalty. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the life of every party, providing an constant stream of chatter to those who wish to listen. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's very easy to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to foresee an opponent's next moves, which sounds quite like a people-smart Gemini.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a intense sign known for frequently becoming wrapped up in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. It is also known for its capability to create a thundercloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to select Pyroar for the king of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being too fabulous (or horrifying, based on your preference). Fans were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Leo offers to the scene. Starmie is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The sign famous for being charmingly critical is clearly reflected across this Pokémon’s entire lineage, from a always shocked face like a Maiden when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s just like the symbol a Maiden sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a plan.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic creature, who uses the sensors on its ears to tell how others are feeling by their pulse. Always empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to keep the peace, there are many Scales who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to worry more about others.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad origin: Discarded as a doll, it gained consciousness through sheer resentment and vowed revenge on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio friends. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a show. As a Archer personally, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly little entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even notes how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee disasters in advance? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Goat, who often consistently believe they’re correct. The thing is, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Detached element Water Bearer is arguably the non-flame placement that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame category matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into power.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
