The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement within the fandom. Starting with the gradual reveal of newcomers before the game's release, to trainers developing strong views on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With numerous of the Super Forms boasting distinctive appearances that emphasize their personalities, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? This list is based on a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes Aries far more akin to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Stay on the good side of either and benefit from a powerful ally; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its regular and Super Form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed passion for treats. Several past Pokédex entries mention their fondness for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this total queen. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, offering an constant stream of gossip to anyone who wish to listen. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly simple to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also states its capacity to predict an opponent's next moves, which seems quite like a people-smart Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly considered as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a intense sign known for often getting wrapped up in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “huge quantity of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully control,” 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 one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to pick Pyroar for the king of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Fans were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Lion brings to the table. Starmie is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a show, even if for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual acid reflux. The sign known for being charmingly critical is clearly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a plan.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, sensitive being, who uses the feelers on its ears to detect how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to maintain the peace, there are many Scales who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to stress even more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Discarded as a doll, it became sentient through sheer hatred and swore retribution on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the perfect match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a performance. As a Sagittarius personally, the amount of times I’ve called myself some version of a “playful small entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to predict calamities in advance? That exudes the exact same energy as a Goat, who often always think they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Aloof air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-flame placement that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being chaotic partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame category fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s description says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
