The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm within the fandom. Starting with the gradual reveal of fresh additions before the title's launch, to trainers developing firm opinions on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.

With numerous of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive designs that emphasize their traits, one idea naturally: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost selected for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why the Ram much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Stay on the friendly side of both and benefit from a strong ally; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross species, both in its standard and Mega form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the creature and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their side to the end. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Several previous Pokédex entries note their fondness for tasty sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it all, which is true Taurus energy.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the life of any gathering, offering an constant stream of gossip to those who wants to hear. Much like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's very simple to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to foresee an opponent's future actions, which sounds quite similar to a people-smart Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a passionate symbol famous for frequently getting absorbed in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. It is also recognized 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 spoil their own parade.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Well, did you assume I was planning to select Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be much too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Players were captivated 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 Lion to be putting on a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly judgmental is clearly reflected across this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s similar to 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, empathetic being, who uses the feelers on its ears to detect how people are emotionally by their pulse. Always compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to keep the peace, there are numerous Scales who would likely benefit from Super Audino's abilities. Though, to be frank, it would likely just make them worry even more about others.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a creature with a surprisingly sad backstory: Discarded as a toy, it became sentient through sheer resentment and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a performance. Being a Archer personally, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “silly small entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even mentions how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius match I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to predict disasters ahead of time? That gives the exact same energy as a Goat, who tends to always believe they’re correct. The thing is, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is arguably the non-flame sign that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting presence is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
