The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm within the community. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of newcomers ahead of the game's release, to trainers forming firm opinions on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With many of the Mega Evolutions boasting distinctive designs that emphasize their personalities, one thought naturally: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? The following is based on a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost chosen for Aries, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram far more akin to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of either and benefit from a strong ally; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its regular and Mega form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the creature and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their position unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed love of snacks. Many past Pokédex entries note their craving for sweet tree sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it everything, which is true Taurus energy.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. You cannot tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, providing an constant stream of gossip to those who wants to listen. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly simple to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which seems quite similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most emotional member of the zodiac, a intense symbol famous for frequently becoming absorbed in their feelings. According to the official info, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “huge quantity of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to create a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Well, did you assume I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Besides the reality that it would be far too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being too glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Players were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Lion brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a show, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly judgmental is clearly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a always shocked expression like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its upside-down visage that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, sensitive creature, who uses the sensors on its ears to tell how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. However, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to worry more about others.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Abandoned as a doll, it became sentient through pure resentment and swore revenge on its former owner. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion adores karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Archers are constantly staging a show. As a Sagittarius personally, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful small jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Archer counterpart I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to predict disasters ahead of time? That exudes the identical energy as a Capricorn, who often consistently think they’re right. Interestingly, much like a visionary Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire placement that is most like a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame typing matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating aura is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
