This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement across the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers before the title's launch, to trainers forming strong opinions on the full lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.

With numerous of the Mega Evolutions showcasing distinctive appearances that highlight their traits, one thought naturally: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is based on a blend of vibes, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly selected for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Stay on the good side of either and enjoy a strong ally; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, both in its standard and Super Form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their side to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Many past official descriptions mention their craving for sweet tree sap and how it uses its horn to collect it all, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, offering an constant fountain of chatter to those who wants to hear. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly simple to envision Super Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to predict an opponent's future actions, which sounds quite similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a intense sign famous for often becoming wrapped up in their feelings. According to the official info, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to create a thundercloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be far too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Players were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the same energy a Lion offers to the scene. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a performance, even if for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly judgmental is strongly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s just like the symbol a Maiden posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic being, who employs the feelers on its ears to detect how others are feeling by their pulse. Always empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to keep the harmony, there are many Scales who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. Though, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to worry more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad backstory: Abandoned as a toy, it became sentient through sheer resentment and swore revenge on its former owner. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are constantly staging a show. As a Archer myself, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly little jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even mentions how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can think of.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee calamities ahead of time? That gives the exact same energy as a Goat, who tends to always think they’re right. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Aloof air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-flame placement that is most like a flame symbol – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire typing matches seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating presence is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
