This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement across the community. Starting with the one-by-one unveiling of fresh additions ahead of the title's launch, to trainers developing strong opinions on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

With many of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique appearances that highlight their personalities, one thought naturally: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? This list is based on a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for Aries, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom appears as always angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Stay on the good side of both and benefit from a powerful ally; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross, both in its regular and Super Form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the creature and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their side to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed love of snacks. Several past official descriptions note their craving for sweet tree sap and how it uses its horn to collect it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Observe this total queen. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, providing an endless stream of chatter to those who wish to hear. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very easy to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also states its ability to foresee an opponent's next moves, which seems quite similar to a people-smart Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

The Crab is widely considered as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign known for frequently getting wrapped up in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully control,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its ability to create a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you think I was going to select Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be much too obvious, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely glamorous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the same energy a Lion brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Virgo is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly critical is strongly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a perpetually shocked face like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s similar to the emoji a Virgo posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a plan.

The Scales – Super Audino

Observe this sweet, sensitive creature, who uses the sensors on its ears to detect how people are feeling by their pulse. Always compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to keep the peace, there are numerous Scales who would likely benefit from Super Audino's abilities. Though, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to stress more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly sad origin: Discarded as a doll, it became sentient through pure hatred and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a performance. Being a Sagittarius myself, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful little entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “flexes to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can imagine.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee calamities ahead of time? That gives the identical energy as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently think they’re right. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-fire placement that is most like a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Aquarius 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 weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
