The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm across the community. From the gradual unveiling of newcomers ahead of the title's release, to trainers developing firm opinions on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to look forward to.

With numerous of the Super Forms boasting unique appearances that emphasize their personalities, one idea came to mind: How can link this with astrology? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why Aries much more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when angered. Stay on the good side of either and benefit from a strong partner; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, both in its standard and Super Form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their position to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Several previous official descriptions mention their fondness for tasty sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it all, which is true Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this total queen. 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. Just like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very simple to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their tales. Medicham’s official description also states its ability to predict an opponent's next moves, which sounds very similar to a people-smart Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

The Crab is widely regarded as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol known for frequently becoming absorbed in their emotions. According to the official info, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “huge amount of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to completely manage,” which sounds 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 a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Players were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Leo brings to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Maiden is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The sign known for being charmingly judgmental is strongly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, sensitive creature, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to maintain the peace, there are numerous Libras who would likely benefit from Super Audino's abilities. However, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to worry more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it gained consciousness through sheer resentment and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a show. As a Sagittarius personally, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly little jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even notes how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict disasters ahead of time? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to consistently believe they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the ground floor of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega 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 numerous memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
