This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement within the fandom. From the gradual reveal of fresh additions ahead of the title's launch, to trainers forming strong views on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

With many of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that highlight their traits, one thought naturally: How can connect this with astrology? The following is based on a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom appears as always furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why Aries far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Stay on the friendly side of both and benefit from a strong partner; should you offend them, be ready to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross, whether in its standard and Mega form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the Pokémon and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their side to the end. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed love of treats. Many past Pokédex entries mention their craving for sweet tree sap and how it uses its horn to collect it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Observe this total queen. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, providing an constant fountain of chatter to anyone who wants to listen. Just like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's incredibly simple to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its capacity to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which sounds very similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is widely regarded as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a intense sign famous for often getting wrapped up in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to create a thundercloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you think I was going to select Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being too glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, 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 space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a performance, even if for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly critical is clearly mirrored throughout this creature's whole lineage, from a always surprised expression like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s just like the emoji a Virgo sends to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, sensitive creature, who employs the sensors on its ears to detect how others are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to keep the peace, there are numerous Scales who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. Though, to be frank, it would likely just make them worry even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Abandoned as a doll, it gained sentient through sheer resentment and swore retribution on its former owner. Per the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a performance. As a Sagittarius personally, the number of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful small jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “poses to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee disasters ahead of time? That gives the exact same vibe as a Goat, who often consistently think they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is arguably the non-flame placement that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame category matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
