This comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm across the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one unveiling of fresh additions before the game's launch, to players developing firm opinions on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given many of the Super Forms boasting distinctive appearances that emphasize their personalities, one idea came to mind: How can connect this with astrology? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as always angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why the Ram far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of either and enjoy a strong partner; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its regular and Super Form, has aided 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 firm belief – will defend their side unwaveringly. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Many past Pokédex entries mention their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it everything, which is true Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this total queen. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, providing an constant fountain of chatter to anyone who wants to listen. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Twins, it's very easy to envision Super Medicham captivating an whole open area with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to foresee an opponent's future actions, which sounds quite similar to a people-smart Gemini.

The Crab – Super Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a intense sign famous for frequently becoming wrapped up in their emotions. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge quantity of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. It is also known for its capability to make a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the same energy a Leo offers to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a performance, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly judgmental is clearly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, sensitive being, who uses the feelers on its ears to tell how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Libras who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them stress even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a creature with a surprisingly sad origin: Discarded as a toy, it became consciousness through pure resentment and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio adores karma and retribution, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a show. As a Sagittarius personally, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “playful little jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even notes how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius match I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the ability to foresee calamities ahead of time? That gives the identical energy as a Goat, who often always think they’re right. Interestingly, much like a prophetic 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 beginning of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire placement that is most like a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire category fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating presence is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
