This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm across the community. Starting with the gradual unveiling of newcomers ahead of the game's release, to trainers developing strong opinions on the full roster of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Super Forms boasting distinctive designs that emphasize their traits, one idea naturally: What's the best way to link this with astrology? This list is based on a mix of vibes, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

Aries – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was almost chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom appears as always angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Remain on the good side of both and benefit from a strong ally; if you cross them, prepare to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its standard and Super Form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the creature and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – be it 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 Taurus friends, however, is its unashamed love of snacks. Many past Pokédex entries note their fondness for tasty sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this total queen. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, providing an constant fountain of gossip to anyone who wish to listen. Just like an captivating, gregarious Gemini, it's very easy to envision Mega Medicham captivating an entire open area with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to predict an enemy’s next moves, which seems quite like a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is widely regarded as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a passionate symbol famous for often getting wrapped up in their emotions. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the creature with a “huge quantity of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. It is also known for its ability to make a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being too glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Lion brings to the table. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a show, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly judgmental is clearly reflected across this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a always surprised expression like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, sensitive being, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how others are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are many Libras who would probably appreciate Super Audino's skills. However, to be frank, it would probably just make them worry even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad origin: Discarded as a doll, it gained sentient through pure hatred and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpio friends. A Scorpion adores karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a performance. Being a Sagittarius myself, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “playful little entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even mentions how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can think of.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict calamities ahead of time? That exudes the identical vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to always think they’re right. The thing is, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame typing matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting presence is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
