This comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense excitement within the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers before the title's release, to trainers developing strong opinions on the entire roster of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to look forward to.

With numerous of the Super Forms boasting unique appearances that highlight their traits, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? This list is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes Aries far more similar to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when angered. Stay on the friendly side of either and benefit from a strong partner; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its standard and Mega form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the creature and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Many past Pokédex entries mention their craving for sweet sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. It's impossible to convince me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, providing an constant fountain of chatter to those who wish to hear. Just like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very easy to imagine Super Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s official description also mentions its ability to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which sounds very similar to a people-smart Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a intense sign known for frequently getting wrapped up in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous quantity of energy, but it's excessive for Manectric to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. It is also recognized for its ability to make a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Aside from the fact that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Lion brings to the table. Starmie is also said to be transmitting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The sign famous for being endearingly judgmental is clearly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a always shocked face like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden sends to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Look at this gentle, sensitive being, who employs the feelers on its ears to detect how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Always compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and trying to maintain the peace, there are numerous Scales who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them stress more about others.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic origin: Discarded as a doll, it gained consciousness through sheer resentment and vowed revenge on its former owner. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio loves karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a show. As a Sagittarius personally, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful little entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “flexes to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can imagine.

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 consistently believe they’re correct. The thing is, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Aloof air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire placement that is closest to a flame symbol – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire typing matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
