This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement within the community. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions before the title's launch, to players forming strong opinions on the entire roster of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that emphasize their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? The following is based on a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for Aries, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes the Ram far more akin to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Remain on the good side of both and enjoy a powerful ally; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its regular and Super Form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the creature and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed passion for treats. Many past official descriptions note their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it all, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this total queen. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, providing an constant stream of gossip to anyone who wants to listen. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's very easy to envision Mega Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to predict an enemy’s next moves, which sounds very similar to a people-smart Gemini.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most emotional member of the zodiac, a passionate symbol famous for frequently getting absorbed in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to completely control,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to make a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Aside from the fact that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, based on your preference). Players were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the same energy a Leo offers to the table. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting signals from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly judgmental is strongly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s just like the symbol a Maiden posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this sweet, sensitive creature, who uses the sensors on its ears to tell how people are emotionally by their pulse. Always compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and striving to maintain the peace, there are many Scales who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to stress even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad backstory: Discarded as a doll, it became consciousness through sheer resentment and swore retribution on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a show. As a Sagittarius myself, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “silly little entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even notes how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can imagine.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to foresee disasters ahead of time? That exudes the identical energy as a Goat, who often consistently believe they’re correct. The thing is, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Aloof air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-flame sign that is most like a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
