The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm within the fandom. From the one-by-one reveal of newcomers ahead of the game's release, to players forming firm opinions on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.

With numerous of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive appearances that emphasize their traits, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? The following is inspired by a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom appears as always furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why Aries far more akin to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of either and benefit from a powerful partner; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross species, both in its regular and Super Form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the creature and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their side to the end. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Many previous Pokédex entries mention their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it all, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this total royalty. You cannot tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, offering an endless fountain of chatter to those who wants to listen. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Gemini, it's incredibly simple to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s official description also states its capacity to foresee an opponent's future actions, which seems quite similar to a people-smart Gemini.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is widely considered as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a intense sign known for frequently getting absorbed in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its capability to make a storm cloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you assume I was going to pick Pyroar for the king of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Fans were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s exactly the same energy a Lion offers to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be broadcasting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a show, even if for aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly critical is strongly reflected throughout this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised face like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s just like the emoji a Virgo sends to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, sensitive creature, who employs the sensors on its ears to detect how others are feeling by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Libras who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them stress even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad backstory: Abandoned as a toy, it became consciousness through pure resentment and vowed revenge on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a show. Being a Sagittarius personally, the amount of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly small jester” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes 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 counterpart I can imagine.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee calamities in advance? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently believe they’re correct. The thing is, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Aloof element Aquarius is arguably the non-flame sign that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire category matches seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting presence is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s description says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
