The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm across the community. From the gradual unveiling of fresh additions ahead of the game's launch, to trainers forming firm views on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that emphasize their traits, one thought naturally: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? The following is based on a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Remain on the good side of both and benefit from a strong partner; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its regular and Mega form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the Pokémon and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will defend their position to the end. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed love of snacks. Several previous Pokédex entries note their craving for sweet sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this absolute royalty. You cannot tell me this creature is not the life of every party, providing an constant stream of chatter to those who wish to hear. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly simple to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their stories. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its ability to predict an opponent's next moves, which sounds quite similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a intense symbol famous for often getting wrapped up in their feelings. According to the official info, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. It is also known for its capability to create a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Well, did you assume I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the king 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 glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Fans were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the identical vibe a Leo offers to the scene. Starmie is also rumored to be broadcasting radio waves from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The sign known for being endearingly judgmental is strongly mirrored throughout this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a always shocked face like a Maiden when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, sensitive creature, who employs the sensors on its ears to detect how people are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to maintain the peace, there are numerous Scales who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them stress even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Discarded as a doll, it became sentient through sheer resentment and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a performance. As a Archer myself, the amount of times I’ve called myself some version of a “playful little jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Super Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to foresee disasters in advance? That gives the identical energy as a Capricorn, who often consistently believe they’re right. The thing is, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is arguably the non-fire placement that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about the Archer and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire typing matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating presence is also extremely Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
