The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm within the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of fresh additions ahead of the game's launch, to players forming strong opinions on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

Given many of the Super Forms boasting distinctive appearances that highlight their personalities, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is based on a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost chosen for Aries, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom appears as always furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why Aries much more akin to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when angered. Stay on the good side of both and enjoy a powerful partner; should you offend them, be ready to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its regular and Super Form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the Pokémon and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed love of treats. Many previous official descriptions mention their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it all, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this total royalty. It's impossible to convince me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, offering an endless fountain of gossip to those who wish to listen. Just like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very easy to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to predict an enemy’s future actions, which seems quite similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

The Crab is commonly considered as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign famous for often getting wrapped up in their emotions. According to the official info, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also known for its ability to make a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be much too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s precisely the identical vibe a Lion brings to the table. Starmie is also rumored to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a performance, even if for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign known for being charmingly critical is strongly reflected throughout this creature's entire lineage, from a perpetually shocked face like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s just like the symbol a Virgo posts to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a plan.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic being, who uses the sensors on its ears to tell how people are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to maintain the peace, there are numerous Scales who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. However, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to worry more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad origin: Abandoned as a toy, it became consciousness through pure resentment and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion loves karma and retribution, making them the perfect pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a performance. Being a Sagittarius personally, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “playful small entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to display its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius match I can imagine.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee disasters ahead of time? That exudes the identical vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to always think they’re right. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame category matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting presence is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
