The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement across the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of newcomers before the title's launch, to players forming strong opinions on the full lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.

With many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing unique designs that highlight their personalities, one thought naturally: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? This list is inspired by a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes Aries far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of either and benefit from a strong ally; should you offend them, be ready to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross, whether in its regular and Mega form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the creature and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their side to the end. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed love of treats. Many previous official descriptions note their craving for sweet tree sap and how it employs its horn to collect it all, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this total queen. You cannot tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, offering an endless stream of gossip to those who wants to hear. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly simple to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also states its ability to predict an opponent's next moves, which seems quite similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most emotional member of the zodiac, a passionate sign known for often becoming wrapped up in their feelings. Per the official info, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to create a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be much too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Players were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Lion brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a performance, even if for aliens.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The sign famous for being charmingly critical is strongly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down visage that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a plan.

The Scales – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic creature, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how others are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and trying to keep the peace, there are many Libras who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to worry even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad origin: Abandoned as a toy, it gained sentient through pure hatred and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a show. As a Archer myself, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “playful small entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee calamities in advance? That gives the identical vibe as a Goat, who often always believe they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless memes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame category matches seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating presence is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
