The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm within the fandom. From the gradual unveiling of newcomers ahead of the title's release, to trainers forming strong opinions on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Super Forms boasting distinctive appearances that highlight their traits, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost selected for Aries, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Mega Houndoom appears as always angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when angered. Stay on the friendly side of both and enjoy a powerful ally; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross, both in its standard and Super Form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Several past Pokédex entries mention their fondness for sweet sap and how it employs its horn to collect it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, offering an endless fountain of chatter to anyone who wants to listen. Just like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very simple to envision Super Medicham captivating an whole open area with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to foresee an opponent's future actions, which seems very like a people-smart Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a passionate symbol known for often becoming absorbed in their emotions. According to the official info, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully control,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to make a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their good time.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Well, did you assume I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be far too on the nose, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the same energy a Leo brings to the table. Starmie is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a show, even if for aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly critical is clearly reflected throughout this creature's whole lineage, from a always shocked expression like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s just like the symbol a Maiden posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a strategy.

Libra – Super Audino

Look at this gentle, sensitive creature, who employs the feelers on its ears to tell how others are feeling by their pulse. Always empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and trying to keep the harmony, there are numerous Libras who would likely benefit from Super Audino's skills. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to stress more about others.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it became consciousness through sheer resentment and swore retribution on its former owner. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpion loves karma and retribution, making them the perfect match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a show. Being a Sagittarius myself, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “silly small jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “flexes 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 apt Sagittarius match I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee disasters in advance? That gives the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who tends to always believe they’re correct. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame placement that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall daunting aura is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s description says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
