This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement within the fandom. Starting with the gradual reveal of newcomers ahead of the title's launch, to players developing strong views on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.

With many of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique appearances that highlight their personalities, one thought naturally: How can link this with astrology? The following is based on a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom appears as always angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes Aries much more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Remain on the friendly side of both and benefit from a strong partner; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Similar to a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its regular and Mega form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their position to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unashamed passion for treats. Several past Pokédex entries mention their craving for sweet sap and how it employs its horn to collect it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, providing an constant fountain of chatter to anyone who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very easy to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which seems quite similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most emotional sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol famous for often becoming absorbed in their emotions. According to the official info, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its ability to make a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is clearly Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, based on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the identical vibe a Leo brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a show, albeit for aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Maiden is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The sign famous for being endearingly judgmental is clearly reflected across this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s similar to the emoji a Virgo sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic creature, who employs the sensors on its ears to tell how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Always compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to keep the peace, there are many Scales who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them worry more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad backstory: Discarded as a toy, it gained consciousness through pure hatred and vowed retribution on its former owner. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio loves karma and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly staging a show. Being a Archer personally, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly little entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Archer counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

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

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Aloof air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-flame placement that is closest to a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s double Spirit/Flame category matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
