This comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense excitement within the community. From the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions before the game's release, to trainers developing firm opinions on the full roster of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With numerous of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive designs that highlight their personalities, one thought came to mind: How can connect this with astrology? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom appears as always angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes Aries much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when angered. Remain on the good side of both and enjoy a powerful ally; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross species, both in its regular and Super Form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their position to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed love of treats. Many previous official descriptions note their fondness for sweet sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it all, which is true Taurus energy.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. You cannot tell me this creature is not the life of any gathering, offering an constant fountain of gossip to anyone who wish to hear. Much like an enrapturing, gregarious Gemini, it's incredibly easy to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its ability to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which sounds quite like a people-smart Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

The Crab is widely regarded as the most emotional sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol known for often becoming wrapped up in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its ability to make a thundercloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to select Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Besides the reality that it would be far too obvious, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the same energy a Leo brings to the scene. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly critical is clearly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s entire lineage, from a always surprised expression like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s just like the emoji a Virgo posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic creature, who employs the sensors on its ears to detect how people are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to maintain the peace, there are many Libras who would likely benefit from Super Audino's abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to worry even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly sad backstory: Discarded as a doll, it became sentient through pure hatred and swore retribution on its former owner. Per the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion adores karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a show. As a Sagittarius personally, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly little jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Archer counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to predict disasters in advance? That exudes the identical energy as a Capricorn, who often always think they’re right. The thing is, much like a visionary Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-fire sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire typing matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
