This comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm within the community. From the gradual reveal of fresh additions before the title's release, to trainers forming firm views on the full lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting distinctive appearances that highlight their traits, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is based on a mix of vibes, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

Aries – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was almost selected for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom appears as always angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why Aries much more akin to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when angered. Remain on the good side of both and enjoy a strong partner; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross, whether in its regular and Super Form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the creature and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed love of treats. Many previous Pokédex entries note their fondness for sweet sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. You cannot convince me this creature is not the life of every party, offering an endless fountain of chatter to anyone who wish to listen. Just like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's very simple to imagine Super Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which seems quite similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a intense symbol famous for often getting wrapped up in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its capability to make a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the reality that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Leo offers to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly judgmental is strongly reflected across this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised face like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its upside-down visage that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden posts to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a strategy.

Libra – Super Audino

Look at this gentle, sensitive creature, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how people are emotionally by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are many Scales who would probably appreciate Super Audino's abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to worry even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic origin: Discarded as a toy, it became consciousness through pure hatred and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpio adores karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Super Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a performance. Being a Sagittarius personally, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “playful small entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the ability to foresee disasters ahead of time? That exudes the identical vibe as a Goat, who tends to always think they’re right. Interestingly, 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 Mega trend.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is arguably the non-flame placement that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame category matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating aura is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
