This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm within the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers ahead of the title's release, to trainers forming strong opinions on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Super Forms boasting distinctive appearances that highlight their traits, one thought naturally: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? The following is inspired by a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost selected for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom appears as always furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of either and enjoy a powerful ally; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its regular and Mega form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the creature and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed love of snacks. Several past Pokédex entries note their fondness for tasty sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Look at this absolute royalty. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the soul of every party, providing an endless fountain of gossip to anyone who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's very simple to imagine Super Medicham captivating an entire open area with their stories. This Pokémon's official description also states its ability to foresee an opponent's future actions, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a intense symbol known for frequently becoming absorbed in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its ability to make a thundercloud over its own self – 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 assume I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the lion of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be much too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Players were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s precisely the identical vibe a Leo offers to the table. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant acid reflux. The sign famous for being charmingly critical is strongly reflected across this creature's entire lineage, from a always surprised face like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s just like the symbol a Maiden sends to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic creature, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how others are feeling by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to maintain the peace, there are many Libras who would likely appreciate Super Audino's skills. However, to be frank, it would probably just make them stress even more about others.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it became sentient through pure resentment and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a show. As a Sagittarius personally, the number of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly small jester” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions 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 fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to predict calamities ahead of time? That exudes the identical energy as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently think they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-fire sign that is most like a flame symbol – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
