The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm within the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions before the game's launch, to players forming strong opinions on the full roster of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With many of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive appearances 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, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes Aries far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Stay on the good side of either and enjoy a powerful ally; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its standard and Super Form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their side to the end. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed love of treats. Several previous official descriptions note their craving for tasty sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it everything, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, offering an constant stream of gossip to those who wants to hear. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Gemini, it's very simple to imagine Super Medicham captivating an whole open area with their stories. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its capacity to predict an opponent's next moves, which seems very similar to a people-smart Gemini.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is widely regarded as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a intense sign known for often getting wrapped up in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. It is also recognized for its capability to create a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to pick Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being too fabulous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the identical vibe a Lion offers to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual acid reflux. The sign known for being endearingly judgmental is clearly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s entire lineage, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s just like the emoji a Maiden posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, sensitive being, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to maintain the peace, there are many Libras who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them worry more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly tragic origin: Abandoned as a doll, it gained sentient through pure resentment and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion loves karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a performance. Being a Archer personally, the number of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly small jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the ability to foresee disasters ahead of time? That gives the identical energy as a Goat, who often consistently believe they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-flame placement that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating aura is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's description says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
