This comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement across the fandom. From the gradual reveal of newcomers ahead of the game's launch, to trainers developing strong views on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that emphasize their personalities, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? This list is based on a mix of vibes, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for Aries, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why Aries far more similar to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of both and enjoy a powerful partner; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its regular and Super Form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the Pokémon and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their side to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed love of snacks. Many previous Pokédex entries mention their craving for tasty tree sap and how it uses its horn to collect it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Observe this total royalty. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, providing an constant fountain of gossip to those who wish to listen. Just like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very simple to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an whole open area with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to predict an opponent's future actions, which seems quite similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most emotional member of the zodiac, a intense sign known for frequently getting absorbed in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. It is also known for its capability to create a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to select Pyroar for the king of the stars? Aside from the fact that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the identical energy a Lion brings to the table. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a show, even if for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The sign known for being charmingly judgmental is strongly mirrored throughout this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Maiden when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s just like the emoji a Virgo sends to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a strategy.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic being, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and trying to maintain the peace, there are numerous Scales who would probably benefit from Super Audino's skills. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to stress even more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it gained sentient through sheer hatred and swore retribution on its former owner. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio friends. A Scorpio adores karma and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a show. As a Sagittarius myself, the amount of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful small jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Archer counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to foresee disasters ahead of time? That gives the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who often consistently think they’re right. The thing is, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Aloof air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame placement that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame typing fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
