This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm across the community. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions before the game's release, to trainers developing strong opinions on the full roster of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.

With many of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive designs 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.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as always angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes Aries much more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when angered. Stay on the good side of either and enjoy a powerful ally; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross, whether in its regular and Super Form, has assisted many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the creature and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side to the end. What about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed passion for treats. Several past official descriptions note their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this total queen. You cannot convince me this creature is not the life of any gathering, providing an constant fountain of gossip to those who wish to hear. Just like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's very easy to envision Super Medicham captivating an whole open area with their stories. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its capacity to predict an enemy’s future actions, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Super Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a passionate symbol known for frequently becoming wrapped up in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to make a thundercloud over its very self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be far too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the identical energy a Lion brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a show, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual acid reflux. The sign famous for being endearingly critical is clearly mirrored across this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked face like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s just like the emoji a Maiden sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Look at this gentle, sensitive creature, who uses the sensors on its ears to tell how people are emotionally by their pulse. Always empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to maintain the peace, there are many Libras who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them stress even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Discarded as a toy, it became sentient through pure hatred and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpio friends. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a performance. Being a Sagittarius myself, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly small jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to foresee calamities ahead of time? That exudes the identical vibe as a Goat, who often consistently think they’re correct. The thing is, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-flame sign that is most like a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame category fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting presence is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
