This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm across the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's release, to players forming firm opinions on the full lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique appearances that highlight their personalities, one idea naturally: What's the best way to link this with astrology? This list is based on a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why the Ram far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Remain on the good side of both and benefit from a powerful partner; if you cross them, prepare to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its standard and Super Form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the Pokémon and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their side unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed love of treats. Several previous Pokédex entries note their fondness for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it everything, which is true Taurus energy.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Observe this total royalty. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the life of every party, offering an constant fountain of chatter to anyone who wants to hear. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Twins, it's very simple to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s official description also states its ability to predict an enemy’s future actions, which sounds quite like a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Super Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign famous for frequently getting wrapped up in their feelings. According to the official info, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous quantity of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its capability to make a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to select Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Aside from the fact that it would be far too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Fans were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Lion offers to the scene. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a show, even if for aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly critical is clearly mirrored throughout this creature's entire lineage, from a perpetually surprised face like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s just like the symbol a Maiden sends to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a plan.

The Scales – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic creature, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how others are feeling by their pulse. Always compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to maintain the peace, there are many Scales who would probably appreciate Super Audino's skills. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them stress more about others.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Discarded as a toy, it became consciousness through pure hatred and swore revenge on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion loves karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a performance. Being a Sagittarius myself, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful little entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict disasters ahead of time? That exudes the identical vibe as a Goat, who tends to consistently believe they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Aquarius is arguably the non-flame sign that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire typing fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall daunting aura is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
