The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement across the community. From the one-by-one unveiling of fresh additions before the game's release, to players forming strong views on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Super Forms showcasing unique appearances that highlight their personalities, one idea naturally: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? The following is based on a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram much more akin to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of both and enjoy a powerful ally; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its standard and Mega form, has assisted many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the Pokémon and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed love of snacks. Many past Pokédex entries note their craving for sweet tree sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it all, which is true Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. You cannot convince me this creature is not the soul of every party, providing an constant stream of gossip to those who wants to listen. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Twins, it's incredibly simple to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its capacity to predict an opponent's future actions, which sounds very similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is widely regarded as the most emotional sign of the astrological wheel, a intense sign known for frequently becoming absorbed in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous quantity of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. It is also known for its ability to create a storm cloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you think I was going to pick Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be far too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Leo offers to the scene. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign known for being charmingly critical is strongly mirrored across this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a always surprised expression like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s just like the emoji a Virgo sends to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic being, who uses the sensors on its ears to detect how others are feeling by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and trying to maintain the peace, there are many Libras who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. Though, to be frank, it would likely just make them worry even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic origin: Discarded as a doll, it became consciousness through sheer hatred and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio adores karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a performance. Being a Sagittarius personally, the amount of times I’ve called myself some version of a “silly small entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict calamities ahead of time? That gives the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who often consistently think they’re right. Interestingly, much like a visionary Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Aloof air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire placement that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame category fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's overall daunting aura is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
