This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm within the fandom. Starting with the gradual reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's launch, to players developing strong views on the full roster of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With many of the Super Forms boasting distinctive appearances that emphasize 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

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes Aries much more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Remain on the good side of both and enjoy a powerful ally; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross, both in its standard and Mega form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the creature and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed love of snacks. Several previous official descriptions note their craving for tasty sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it all, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this total royalty. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the soul of every party, providing an constant fountain of chatter to anyone who wants to hear. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very simple to imagine Super Medicham captivating an entire open area with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also states its ability to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which seems very similar to a people-smart Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

The Crab is widely considered as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a passionate symbol known for frequently becoming wrapped up in their emotions. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “huge amount of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. It is also known for its capability to make a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

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 on the nose, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being too fabulous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Players were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Leo brings to the scene. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting signals from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a show, even if for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly judgmental is clearly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a perpetually shocked face like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s just like the symbol a Maiden posts 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, empathetic being, who uses the feelers on its ears to tell how others are emotionally by their pulse. Always compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and trying to maintain the peace, there are numerous Scales who would likely benefit from Super Audino's skills. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to stress more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly sad backstory: Abandoned as a toy, it became sentient through sheer hatred and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a show. As a Archer personally, the amount of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful small jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even mentions how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can imagine.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict calamities ahead of time? That gives the identical energy as a Capricorn, who often always believe they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached element Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame placement that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire category matches seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating presence is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
