This comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense excitement within the fandom. Starting with the gradual unveiling of fresh additions ahead of the title's launch, to trainers developing firm opinions on the full lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

With many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing distinctive appearances that highlight their personalities, one thought naturally: How can connect this with astrology? The following is based on a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was almost chosen for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why Aries far more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of both and benefit from a strong ally; should you offend them, be ready to face the consequences.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, both in its standard and Super Form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the creature and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side to the end. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed love of snacks. Several previous official descriptions note their craving for tasty sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it everything, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this total queen. You cannot tell me this creature is not the life of every party, providing an constant stream of gossip to those who wants to hear. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly simple to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their stories. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its capacity to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which sounds quite like a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most emotional sign of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol famous for frequently becoming wrapped up in their emotions. According to the official info, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge amount of energy, but it's excessive for Manectric to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. It is also recognized for its capability to create a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Leo brings to the table. Starmie is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The sign known for being charmingly critical is clearly reflected across this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a always surprised expression 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 posts to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic being, who uses the sensors on its ears to tell how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to keep the harmony, there are many Scales who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. However, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to worry even more about others.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly sad origin: Abandoned as a doll, it gained sentient through sheer resentment and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio friends. A Scorpion adores karma and retribution, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a performance. As a Archer myself, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly little entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee disasters in advance? That gives the exact same energy as a Goat, who tends to always think they’re right. Interestingly, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is possibly the non-flame sign that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating aura is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
