The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm within the fandom. From the gradual reveal of newcomers before the title's release, to trainers developing strong views on the full roster of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

Given many of the Super Forms showcasing unique appearances that highlight their personalities, one thought naturally: What's the best way to link this with astrology? This list is based on a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom appears as always furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram far more akin to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Remain on the friendly side of either and enjoy a strong ally; if you cross them, prepare to face the consequences.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its regular and Mega form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their position unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed love of treats. Many previous Pokédex entries mention their craving for sweet tree sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it everything, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Observe this total royalty. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, providing an constant stream of chatter to those who wants to listen. Just like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's incredibly easy to envision Super Medicham captivating an whole open area with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to foresee an opponent's future actions, which seems quite like a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol famous for frequently becoming wrapped up in their emotions. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. It is also known for its capability to make a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the identical energy a Lion offers to the scene. Starmie is also said to be transmitting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Maiden is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly critical is strongly mirrored throughout this creature's whole lineage, from a always shocked expression like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s just like the emoji a Virgo posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, sensitive creature, who employs the feelers on its ears to detect how people are feeling by their pulse. Always empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are many Scales who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, to be frank, it would probably just make them stress more about others.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad origin: Abandoned as a toy, it gained consciousness through sheer hatred and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a show. Being a Archer personally, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful little jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even notes how it “poses to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to foresee calamities ahead of time? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to always think they’re correct. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire category matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting presence is also extremely Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's description says it “draws in hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
