The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement within the fandom. Starting with the gradual unveiling of newcomers ahead of the game's launch, to players forming strong views on the full lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.

With numerous of the Mega Evolutions showcasing unique designs that highlight their personalities, one thought naturally: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is inspired by a mix of vibes, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom appears as always furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why Aries far more akin to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Stay on the good side of either and enjoy a powerful partner; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross species, both in its standard and Super Form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the Pokémon and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their position to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed love of snacks. Several previous official descriptions mention their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it employs its horn to collect it all, which is true Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, providing an endless stream of chatter to those who wish to listen. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly easy to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also states its ability to predict an opponent's future actions, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly considered as the most emotional member of the zodiac, a passionate sign known for frequently getting wrapped up in their emotions. Per the official info, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to create a thundercloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to select Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Leo offers to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly critical is clearly reflected across this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a always shocked expression like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s just like the symbol a Virgo sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this sweet, sensitive creature, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how people are emotionally by their pulse. Always compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and trying to keep the peace, there are many Libras who would probably appreciate Super Audino's skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them stress more about others.

Scorpio – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Discarded as a doll, it became consciousness through sheer hatred and vowed revenge on its former owner. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion adores karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a performance. Being a Archer myself, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly small jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee disasters ahead of time? That gives the identical vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently believe they’re correct. The thing is, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is possibly the non-flame sign that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s double Spirit/Flame typing fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting aura is also extremely Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's description says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
