The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement within the community. Starting with the gradual reveal of newcomers ahead of the title's launch, to players forming firm views on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With numerous of the Mega Evolutions showcasing unique appearances that highlight their personalities, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as always furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why Aries far more akin to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Stay on the friendly side of both and benefit from a strong partner; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross, whether in its standard and Mega form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the creature and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed passion for treats. Many previous official descriptions note their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this total queen. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, providing an endless stream of gossip to those who wants to listen. Much like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly easy to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to predict an enemy’s next moves, which seems very like a people-smart Gemini.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a passionate symbol known for frequently becoming absorbed in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely control,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. It is also recognized for its capability to make a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be far too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, 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 space, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a show, even if for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Maiden is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign known for being endearingly judgmental is strongly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s similar to the emoji a Virgo sends to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a strategy.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic being, who uses the sensors on its ears to tell how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and trying to keep the harmony, there are many Libras who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. However, to be frank, it would probably just make them stress even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a creature with a surprisingly sad origin: Discarded as a doll, it became sentient through pure hatred and vowed revenge on its former owner. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpio loves karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a show. As a Archer myself, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly little entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee calamities ahead of time? That gives the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to always believe they’re right. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is possibly the non-flame placement that is most like a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable accomplices. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame typing matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
