The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm across the fandom. Starting with the gradual reveal of newcomers before the game's release, to players developing firm views on the entire roster of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With numerous of the Super Forms boasting unique designs that emphasize their traits, one idea naturally: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is based on a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly chosen for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as always angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes Aries far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Stay on the good side of both and enjoy a strong ally; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross, whether in its regular and Mega form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their side unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unashamed love of treats. Many previous official descriptions note their craving for sweet tree sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this total queen. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the life of any gathering, offering an constant stream of gossip to those who wish to listen. Much like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's very simple to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an whole open area with their stories. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its capacity to foresee an opponent's future actions, which seems quite like a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most emotional member of the zodiac, a passionate sign known for frequently getting absorbed in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to make a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to pick Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be far too obvious, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being too fabulous (or horrifying, based on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the same energy a Leo brings to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a performance, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Virgo is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The sign famous for being endearingly judgmental is strongly mirrored across this creature's whole lineage, from a always shocked expression like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down visage that’s just like the symbol a Virgo posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic creature, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to keep the harmony, there are numerous Libras who would probably benefit from Super Audino's abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them worry more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a toy, it became sentient through sheer hatred and vowed revenge on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a performance. As a Archer myself, the number of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly small jester” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius match I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict calamities ahead of time? That exudes the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who often always believe they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Aloof element Aquarius is arguably the non-flame placement that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
