The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm within the fandom. From the gradual reveal of fresh additions ahead of the title's launch, to players forming firm opinions on the entire roster of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions showcasing distinctive designs that highlight their traits, one thought naturally: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? This list is inspired by a blend of vibes, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost chosen for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as always angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why Aries much more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Stay on the good side of either and enjoy a strong ally; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its regular and Super Form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the creature and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their side unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, 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.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Look at this total queen. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, providing an endless fountain of gossip to anyone who wants to hear. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very easy to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their stories. This Pokémon's official description also states its capacity to predict an opponent's next moves, which seems very like a people-smart Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

The Crab is widely considered as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a intense sign known for frequently becoming absorbed in their emotions. According to the official info, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. This Pokémon is also known for its ability to create a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the reality that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Leo brings to the table. Starmie is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly critical is strongly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a perpetually shocked face like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s just like the emoji a Virgo posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, sensitive creature, who employs the sensors on its ears to detect how others are feeling by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to maintain the peace, there are many Scales who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them worry more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Discarded as a toy, it became sentient through sheer resentment and swore revenge on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion loves karma and retribution, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a show. As a Sagittarius personally, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly small jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee calamities in advance? That exudes the identical vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently think they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire placement that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being unpredictable accomplices. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
