The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement within the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions before the game's launch, to trainers forming strong opinions on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.

With numerous of the Super Forms boasting distinctive designs that emphasize their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? The following is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram far more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Stay on the good side of both and enjoy a powerful partner; should you offend them, be ready to face the consequences.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross, both in its regular and Mega form, has assisted many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the creature and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their position to the end. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed passion for treats. Several previous official descriptions note their craving for sweet sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, providing an endless fountain of gossip to those who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very simple to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s official description also mentions its ability to predict an enemy’s next moves, which seems quite like a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most emotional member of the zodiac, a passionate sign famous for often getting wrapped up in their emotions. According to the official info, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge amount of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to make a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the lion of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the same energy a Leo offers to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be broadcasting signals from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a performance, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The sign known for being endearingly judgmental is strongly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s entire lineage, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Maiden when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a plan.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic creature, who uses the sensors on its ears to detect how others are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to keep the peace, there are numerous Libras who would probably benefit from Super Audino's abilities. However, to be frank, it would probably just make them stress even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Abandoned as a toy, it became consciousness through pure hatred and swore retribution on its former owner. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion loves karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a show. Being a Archer myself, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly little jester” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to predict calamities in advance? That exudes the identical energy as a Capricorn, who often consistently believe they’re correct. The thing is, much like a visionary Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-fire placement that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
