The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement within the community. From the gradual unveiling of fresh additions before the title's launch, to trainers developing firm views on the entire roster of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.

Given many of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique appearances that emphasize their personalities, one thought came to mind: How can connect this with astrology? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for Aries, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes Aries far more akin to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of both and enjoy a strong ally; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its regular and Mega form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the creature and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their side to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed love of snacks. Several past Pokédex entries note their craving for tasty sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. You cannot tell me this creature is not the life of every party, offering an endless fountain of gossip to those who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's very simple to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to predict an opponent's next moves, which seems quite like a people-smart Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

The Crab is widely regarded as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol famous for frequently becoming wrapped up in their feelings. Per the official info, Mega Evolution fills the creature with a “huge amount of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its ability to make a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to select Pyroar for the king of the stars? Besides the reality that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s precisely the same energy a Leo offers to the scene. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The sign known for being endearingly judgmental is clearly reflected throughout this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a always surprised expression like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic creature, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how people are feeling by their pulse. Always compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to keep the peace, there are numerous Scales who would likely benefit from Super Audino's abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to worry even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic origin: Discarded as a doll, it became sentient through pure resentment and swore revenge on its former owner. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio friends. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a show. Being a Sagittarius myself, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful little jester” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “flexes to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to predict calamities in advance? That exudes the identical energy as a Goat, who tends to consistently believe they’re right. Interestingly, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached element Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
