The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement across the fandom. From the gradual reveal of newcomers ahead of the game's release, to trainers forming firm views on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.

Given many of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that highlight their traits, one thought naturally: How can link this with astrology? The following is based on a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost chosen for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom appears as always angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes Aries far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Stay on the good side of either and benefit from a strong partner; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its standard and Super Form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the creature and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side to the end. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed love of treats. Several previous official descriptions note their craving for sweet tree sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it everything, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this total royalty. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the life of any gathering, providing an constant fountain of gossip to anyone who wants to hear. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly simple to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their stories. Medicham’s official description also mentions its ability to predict an enemy’s next moves, which seems very like a people-smart Gemini.

The Crab – Super Manectric

The Crab is widely regarded as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol known for often becoming wrapped up in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also known for its ability to make a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Well, did you assume I was going to pick Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be far too obvious, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Players were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Lion offers to the scene. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a show, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly judgmental is strongly reflected across this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden sends to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic being, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Always compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to keep the harmony, there are many Libras who would likely benefit from Super Audino's skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to stress more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly tragic origin: Discarded as a doll, it gained consciousness through sheer hatred and vowed revenge on its former owner. Per the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpio loves karma and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a show. Being a Archer myself, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some version of a “playful little jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even mentions how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer counterpart I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to predict disasters ahead of time? That exudes the identical energy as a Capricorn, who tends to always think they’re correct. Interestingly, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Aloof air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-flame placement that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating aura is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
