This comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense excitement within the fandom. From the gradual reveal of fresh additions ahead of the title's launch, to players forming strong opinions on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Super Forms showcasing unique appearances that highlight their personalities, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? This list is based on a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as always angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of both and benefit from a powerful ally; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its standard and Mega form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the creature and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed love of snacks. Many past official descriptions note their craving for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Look at this absolute royalty. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, offering an constant stream of gossip to anyone who wish to hear. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly easy to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also states its ability to predict an opponent's next moves, which sounds very like a people-smart Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

The Crab is commonly considered as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a passionate sign known for frequently getting absorbed in their feelings. According to the official info, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its ability to make a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being too glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Players were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Leo brings to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual acid reflux. The sign famous for being endearingly critical is clearly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s just like the emoji a Maiden posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a plan.

Libra – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic being, who uses the feelers on its ears to tell how others are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to keep the harmony, there are many Libras who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s abilities. However, to be frank, it would likely just make them worry more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad origin: Abandoned as a toy, it became consciousness through pure resentment and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a show. As a Sagittarius myself, the number of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful small entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee disasters ahead of time? That exudes the identical energy as a Goat, who often always think they’re right. The thing is, much like a visionary Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-flame placement that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's overall daunting aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s description says it “draws in hatred and converts it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
