The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement across the fandom. From the gradual unveiling of newcomers ahead of the game's release, to trainers developing firm opinions on the full roster of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.

Given many of the Super Forms boasting distinctive designs that highlight their personalities, one idea naturally: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is based on a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for Aries, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as always angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes the Ram far more similar to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when angered. Remain on the good side of either and benefit from a powerful ally; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Similar to a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross, both in its regular and Mega form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their side unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Many past Pokédex entries mention their craving for tasty tree sap and how it employs its horn to collect it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this total queen. It's impossible to convince me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, providing an endless fountain of gossip to anyone who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly simple to envision Mega Medicham captivating an entire open area with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its ability to foresee an opponent's future actions, which seems very similar to a people-smart Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

The Crab is widely regarded as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol known for frequently getting absorbed in their emotions. According to the official info, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to make a thundercloud over its very self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their good time.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to pick Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the reality that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Players were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s exactly the identical vibe a Lion brings to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a show, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly judgmental is clearly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic being, who employs the feelers on its ears to detect how people are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would likely benefit from Super Audino's skills. Though, to be frank, it would probably just make them stress even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic origin: Abandoned as a doll, it became consciousness through pure hatred and vowed retribution on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion loves karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a show. Being a Sagittarius myself, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful small jester” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius match I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the ability to predict disasters in advance? That exudes the identical energy as a Capricorn, who often always believe they’re right. Interestingly, much like a visionary Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-fire placement that is most like a flame symbol – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire typing matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating presence is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
