The return of Super Forms in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement within the community. Starting with the gradual reveal of newcomers before the game's launch, to players forming firm views on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

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

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly selected for Aries, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why Aries much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Remain on the friendly side of either and enjoy a powerful partner; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, both in its regular and Mega form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their position unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed love of treats. Many previous official descriptions mention their fondness for tasty sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this total royalty. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, providing an endless stream of chatter to those who wish to hear. Just like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very simple to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its ability to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which sounds very similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Super Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a passionate sign known for frequently getting wrapped up in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “huge amount of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its capability to make a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be much too obvious, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Fans were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Leo offers to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a performance, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly judgmental is clearly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have 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 creating a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, sensitive creature, who uses the sensors on its ears to tell how others are feeling by their pulse. Always empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and trying to keep the peace, there are numerous Libras who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to stress more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Discarded as a toy, it became consciousness through pure hatred and vowed retribution on its former owner. Per the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a show. Being a Archer myself, the amount of times I’ve called myself some version of a “silly small jester” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to foresee calamities ahead of time? That gives the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who often consistently think they’re right. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire sign that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire category matches seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s description says it “draws in hatred and converts it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
