The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement within the fandom. Starting with the gradual unveiling of newcomers ahead of the title's launch, to players forming strong opinions on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

With numerous of the Super Forms boasting distinctive appearances that highlight their personalities, one idea naturally: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? The following is inspired by a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why Aries much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of either and enjoy a powerful ally; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross, whether in its regular and Super Form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the creature and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their position unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Several previous Pokédex entries mention their craving for tasty tree sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it all, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Observe this total royalty. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the life of any gathering, offering an endless stream of gossip to those who wants to listen. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Twins, it's very easy to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to predict an enemy’s next moves, which sounds very similar to a people-smart Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most emotional member of the zodiac, a intense sign famous for often becoming absorbed in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to make a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be far too on the nose, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the identical vibe a Lion brings to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a show, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Maiden is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly judgmental is clearly reflected across this creature's entire lineage, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden sends to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic creature, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how people are feeling by their pulse. Always compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to maintain the peace, there are numerous Libras who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. Though, to be frank, it would likely just make them stress more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a toy, it gained consciousness through pure resentment and swore revenge on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a show. Being a Sagittarius personally, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “playful little entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description 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 counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict calamities ahead of time? That gives the identical vibe as a Goat, who often consistently think they’re right. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute initial Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is possibly the non-flame sign that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting presence is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
