This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm across the fandom. From the gradual reveal of fresh additions before the title's launch, to trainers forming firm opinions on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

With many of the Mega Evolutions boasting distinctive designs that highlight their traits, one thought naturally: How can link this with astrology? The following is based on a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why Aries much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of either and enjoy a strong partner; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross, both in its regular and Super Form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the creature and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their side to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed passion for treats. Many past official descriptions mention their craving for tasty tree sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this total royalty. You cannot convince me this creature is not the soul of every party, offering an constant stream of gossip to those who wants to hear. Much like an enrapturing, gregarious Gemini, it's very simple to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also states its capacity to foresee an opponent's future actions, which sounds very similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

The Crab is commonly considered as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a intense symbol famous for frequently becoming absorbed in their feelings. According to the official info, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to create a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to pick Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Besides the reality that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Players were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the same energy a Leo offers to the scene. Starmie is also said to be transmitting signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The sign famous for being charmingly critical is clearly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a always shocked expression like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden sends to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, sensitive being, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and striving to maintain the peace, there are many Libras who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them worry more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it gained sentient through pure resentment and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a performance. Being a Sagittarius personally, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly small entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius match I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee calamities ahead of time? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently believe they’re right. Interestingly, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire sign that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating presence is also extremely Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
