This comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement across the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of newcomers before the title's release, to trainers developing firm opinions on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing distinctive appearances that emphasize their personalities, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is based on a mix of vibes, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was almost chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why the Ram much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when angered. Remain on the good side of both and benefit from a powerful ally; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross species, both in its regular and Super Form, has assisted many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Many previous Pokédex entries note their fondness for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it all, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this total royalty. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, providing an constant fountain of gossip to those who wish to hear. Much like an captivating, gregarious Gemini, it's very easy to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an whole open area with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its capacity to foresee an opponent's future actions, which seems quite similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a intense sign famous for frequently becoming wrapped up in their emotions. According to the official info, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to create a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Lion offers to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a performance, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly judgmental is strongly reflected across this creature's entire lineage, from a perpetually surprised face like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down visage that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, sensitive creature, who employs the sensors on its ears to tell how people are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and striving to keep the peace, there are numerous Libras who would likely appreciate Super Audino's abilities. Though, to be frank, it would probably just make them worry more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Discarded as a doll, it gained consciousness through sheer hatred and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio adores karma and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a show. Being a Sagittarius myself, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “silly little jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to foresee calamities in advance? That exudes the identical vibe as a Goat, who tends to consistently think they’re right. Interestingly, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Aloof air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire placement that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s description says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
