This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense excitement within the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers ahead of the title's launch, to trainers forming strong opinions on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting distinctive designs that highlight their personalities, one idea naturally: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is inspired by a mix of vibes, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost selected for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes the Ram far more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of either and benefit from a strong partner; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross, whether in its regular and Super Form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the creature and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their side unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Many past official descriptions mention their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it all, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. It's impossible to convince me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, offering an endless stream of gossip to those who wants to listen. Just like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's very simple to imagine Super Medicham captivating an whole open area with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also states its capacity to predict an opponent's future actions, which seems very similar to a people-smart Gemini.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is widely regarded as the most emotional sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign famous for frequently getting wrapped up in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely control,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to create a thundercloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.

The Lion – Super 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 on the nose, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s exactly the identical vibe a Lion brings to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a performance, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual acid reflux. The sign known for being charmingly judgmental is strongly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked face like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s just like the emoji a Maiden posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a plan.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic being, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how people are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to maintain the peace, there are numerous Libras who would probably appreciate Super Audino's abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to stress even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a creature with a surprisingly sad backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it became sentient through sheer resentment and swore retribution on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the perfect pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a performance. As a Archer myself, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly little entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even mentions how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to predict calamities in advance? That gives the exact same energy as a Goat, who tends to always believe they’re right. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is arguably the non-flame placement that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire category matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting aura is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
