The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement within the community. Starting with the gradual reveal of fresh additions before the title's release, to players developing strong opinions on the entire roster of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing distinctive appearances that highlight their traits, one thought came to mind: How can connect this with astrology? This list is based on a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost chosen for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes Aries far more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Remain on the good side of both and enjoy a powerful partner; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Much like a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross, whether in its standard and Super Form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the creature and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their position unwaveringly. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed love of snacks. Several past official descriptions mention their craving for tasty tree sap and how it uses its horn to collect it everything, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, providing an endless stream of chatter to anyone who wants to listen. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Gemini, it's very simple to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s official description also mentions its ability to predict an opponent's future actions, which seems very similar to a people-smart Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol famous for often getting absorbed in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to make a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was going to select Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the same energy a Leo 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 performance, even if for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign known for being charmingly critical is clearly reflected throughout this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a always surprised expression like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, sensitive creature, who uses the feelers on its ears to tell how people are feeling by their pulse. Always empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and trying to keep the peace, there are many Libras who would probably benefit from Super Audino's skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to worry more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a creature with a surprisingly sad backstory: Discarded as a toy, it gained sentient through sheer hatred and vowed revenge on its former owner. Per the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a show. As a Sagittarius myself, the number of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful small entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the ability to predict calamities in advance? That exudes the exact same energy as a Goat, who tends to consistently think they’re correct. The thing is, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire placement that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire typing matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
