This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement within the community. From the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's launch, to trainers developing firm opinions on the entire roster of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to look forward to.

With many of the Super Forms boasting unique designs that highlight their personalities, one thought naturally: How can link this with astrology? The following is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost selected for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as always furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes Aries much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Stay on the good side of both and benefit from a powerful partner; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross, whether in its regular and Mega form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the creature and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their position to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Many previous official descriptions mention their craving for sweet sap and how it employs its horn to collect it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Observe this total queen. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, offering an constant stream of gossip to anyone who wish to hear. Much like an enrapturing, gregarious Gemini, it's very simple to envision Super Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to predict an enemy’s future actions, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most emotional member of the zodiac, a intense sign famous for frequently becoming absorbed in their emotions. According to the official info, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of energy, but it's excessive for Manectric to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also known for its ability to make a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to pick Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the reality that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being too fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s precisely the identical energy a Lion offers to the table. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a show, even if for aliens.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Maiden is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The sign known for being endearingly critical is strongly reflected throughout this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked face like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden posts to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a plan.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, sensitive being, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how people are feeling by their pulse. Always empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to stress even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic origin: Discarded as a toy, it became consciousness through sheer hatred and vowed revenge on its former owner. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio friends. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a show. As a Archer myself, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly little entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee disasters in advance? That gives the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently believe they’re right. The thing is, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame placement that is most like a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame category fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating presence is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into power.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
