The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm across the fandom. From the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions ahead of the title's launch, to trainers forming strong views on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.

With numerous of the Mega Evolutions showcasing distinctive appearances that highlight their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? The following is inspired by a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as always furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes Aries much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when angered. Stay on the good side of both and enjoy a strong partner; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross species, both in its standard and Super Form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the creature and a Bull are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their position to the end. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Several past official descriptions mention their craving for sweet sap and how it uses its horn to hoard it all, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Observe this total queen. It's impossible to convince me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, offering an endless fountain of gossip to anyone who wants to hear. Just like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly simple to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an entire open area with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to predict an opponent's next moves, which seems quite like a people-smart Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is commonly considered as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a intense symbol known for often becoming absorbed in their feelings. According to the official info, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to make a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their good time.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Well, did you assume I was going to pick Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Leo offers to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a performance, even if for aliens.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Virgo is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly critical is strongly mirrored across this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s just like the symbol a Maiden posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a plan.

The Scales – Super Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic being, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how others are feeling by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to maintain the peace, there are many Libras who would probably benefit from Super Audino's abilities. Though, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to stress more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly sad origin: Discarded as a doll, it became consciousness through pure resentment and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio friends. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a performance. Being a Archer personally, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “playful little jester” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Archer counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to predict disasters ahead of time? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Goat, who often consistently think they’re right. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-fire sign that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire category fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's overall daunting presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
