The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm across the fandom. Starting with the gradual unveiling of fresh additions before the game's launch, to players forming firm views on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to look forward to.

Given many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing unique appearances that highlight their traits, one thought naturally: What's the best way to link this with astrology? This list is inspired by a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as always furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes Aries much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of both and benefit from a strong ally; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its standard and Mega form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the creature and a Bull are still Fighting types, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their side unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Several past Pokédex entries note their craving for sweet tree sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this total royalty. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, offering an endless stream of gossip to those who wish to listen. Just like an captivating, gregarious Gemini, it's very easy to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their tales. Medicham’s official description also mentions its ability to predict an enemy’s next moves, which sounds quite similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly considered as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a intense sign known for often becoming wrapped up in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to fully control,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its capability to create a thundercloud over its very self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to pick Pyroar for the king of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Lion brings to the scene. Starmie is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a performance, even if for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The sign famous for being endearingly judgmental is strongly mirrored throughout this creature's whole lineage, from a always surprised face like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic creature, who employs the sensors on its ears to tell how people are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are many Libras who would probably benefit from Super Audino's abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to stress even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Discarded as a doll, it gained consciousness through pure hatred and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio adores karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a show. As a Archer myself, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly small entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee calamities ahead of time? That gives the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently believe they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire sign that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame typing fits perfectly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating presence is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
