This comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm within the community. From the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions ahead of the title's launch, to trainers forming strong views on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given many of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique appearances that emphasize their traits, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? This list is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost chosen for Aries, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why Aries much more akin to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when angered. Remain on the friendly side of both and enjoy a strong ally; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, both in its regular and Super Form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the Pokémon and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Several previous official descriptions mention their craving for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it all, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Look at this absolute queen. You cannot tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, providing an endless fountain of gossip to those who wish to hear. Just like an captivating, gregarious Gemini, it's incredibly simple to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its ability to predict an opponent's next moves, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Super Manectric

The Crab is widely considered as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign famous for frequently becoming absorbed in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to create a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their good time.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to select Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Besides the reality that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Fans were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the same energy a Lion brings to the scene. Starmie is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a performance, albeit for aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign famous for being endearingly critical is clearly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a perpetually surprised face like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s just like the symbol a Virgo posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, sensitive being, who uses the sensors on its ears to tell how people are emotionally by their pulse. Always compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would probably appreciate Super Audino's abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them stress more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Discarded as a toy, it became sentient through pure hatred and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio friends. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a performance. Being a Archer personally, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “playful little entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super 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 foresee calamities ahead of time? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to always think they’re correct. The thing is, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-flame placement that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame category matches seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating presence is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “draws in hatred and converts it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
