The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm across the community. From the gradual reveal of fresh additions ahead of the title's launch, to players forming strong views on the full roster of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Super Forms showcasing unique appearances that emphasize their personalities, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom appears as always furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why Aries far more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Remain on the friendly side of both and benefit from a strong partner; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross, whether in its regular and Mega form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the creature and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed passion for treats. Many previous official descriptions note their fondness for tasty sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it all, which is true Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. You cannot tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, providing an endless stream of gossip to those who wish to hear. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Gemini, it's incredibly easy to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their stories. Medicham’s official description also mentions its ability to foresee an opponent's future actions, which sounds quite like a people-smart Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most emotional sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign famous for frequently getting absorbed in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to create a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be far too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Fans were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the identical vibe a Leo brings to the table. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a performance, albeit for aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly judgmental is clearly reflected across this creature's whole lineage, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Maiden when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a strategy.

Libra – Mega Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic being, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how others are feeling by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to keep the harmony, there are many Scales who would probably benefit from Super Audino's abilities. However, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to stress even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Discarded as a doll, it became sentient through pure resentment and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a show. As a Sagittarius personally, the amount of times I’ve called myself some version of a “playful little jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Archer counterpart I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict disasters in advance? That exudes the identical energy as a Capricorn, who tends to always think they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is arguably the non-flame sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire typing matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating presence is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's description says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
