This comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm within the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's release, to players forming firm opinions on the full roster of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

With numerous of the Super Forms boasting 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 mix of vibes, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes the Ram much more akin to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Remain on the friendly side of both and enjoy a strong ally; if you cross them, prepare to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its standard and Super Form, has assisted many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the Pokémon and a Bull are still Fighting types, and – be it their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their side to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unashamed love of snacks. Many past official descriptions note their craving for tasty tree sap and how it uses its horn to hoard it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this absolute royalty. You cannot tell me this creature is not the life of any gathering, providing an constant fountain of chatter to anyone who wants to listen. Much like an enrapturing, gregarious Gemini, it's incredibly simple to envision Mega Medicham captivating an whole open area with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also states its ability to predict an enemy’s future actions, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

The Crab is commonly considered as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol known for frequently becoming wrapped up in their feelings. According to the official info, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully control,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. It is also known for its capability to create a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Fans were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the identical vibe a Lion offers 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 aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The sign famous for being charmingly critical is strongly mirrored across this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a always shocked expression like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic being, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are many Libras who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them stress more about others.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it became consciousness through pure resentment and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a performance. Being a Sagittarius myself, the number of times I’ve called myself some version of a “playful small entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the ability to foresee disasters ahead of time? That exudes the identical energy as a Goat, who tends to always think they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-fire placement that is closest to a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire category matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting presence is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
