This comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm across the fandom. Starting with the gradual reveal of fresh additions ahead of the title's release, to trainers forming firm views on the full lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given many of the Super Forms boasting unique appearances that highlight their personalities, one idea came to mind: How can connect this with astrology? This list is based on a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as always angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes Aries much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of both and enjoy a strong ally; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its standard and Super Form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the creature and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their position to the end. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Many previous Pokédex entries mention their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it employs its horn to collect it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this total royalty. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the soul of every party, offering an constant stream of chatter to those who wants to hear. Just like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly simple to envision Super Medicham captivating an entire open area with their tales. Medicham’s official description also mentions its ability to predict an enemy’s future actions, which sounds quite like a people-smart Gemini.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is widely considered as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a passionate symbol known for frequently getting wrapped up in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the creature with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its ability to make a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Well, did you assume I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be far too obvious, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Players were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the same energy a Leo offers to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a performance, albeit for aliens.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly judgmental is clearly reflected throughout this creature's whole lineage, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s just like the emoji a Maiden posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, sensitive being, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how people are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Libras who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them stress even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a unexpectedly sad origin: Discarded as a toy, it became consciousness through pure hatred and swore revenge on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio adores karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Archers are constantly staging a show. Being a Archer myself, the amount of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly little entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can think of.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the power to predict calamities ahead of time? That gives the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who often consistently think they’re correct. Interestingly, much like a visionary Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-fire sign that is most like a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame category matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating presence is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
