This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement across the community. Starting with the gradual unveiling of fresh additions ahead of the title's release, to players developing strong opinions on the full roster of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.

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

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. But, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram much more similar to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Stay on the good side of either and benefit from a powerful partner; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its regular and Super Form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the creature and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their position to the end. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unashamed passion for treats. Many previous Pokédex entries mention their fondness for tasty sap and how it uses its horn to collect it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, offering an constant stream of chatter to anyone who wants to listen. Just like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very easy to imagine Super Medicham captivating an whole open area with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to predict an opponent's future actions, which seems quite similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most emotional member of the zodiac, a intense symbol famous for frequently becoming absorbed in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its ability to make a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Well, did you assume I was going to pick Pyroar for the king of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being too fabulous (or horrifying, based on your preference). Players were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Leo offers to the table. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual acid reflux. The sign known for being endearingly critical is clearly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s entire lineage, from a always shocked expression like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a strategy.

Libra – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, sensitive creature, who employs the sensors on its ears to tell how people are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to keep the peace, there are many Scales who would likely appreciate Super Audino's skills. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them worry more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly sad origin: Abandoned as a toy, it became consciousness through pure resentment and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio loves karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a show. As a Archer personally, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly little entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even mentions how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to predict calamities ahead of time? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to always believe they’re right. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire placement that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting presence is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
