This comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm within the fandom. Starting with the gradual reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's launch, to players forming firm views on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Super Forms showcasing unique appearances that emphasize their traits, one thought naturally: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? This list is based on a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why Aries much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of both and benefit from a strong ally; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross, whether in its regular and Super Form, has assisted many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the creature and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will defend their position unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unashamed love of treats. Many previous Pokédex entries mention their fondness for tasty sap and how it uses its horn to collect it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. It's impossible to convince me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, providing an constant stream of gossip to anyone who wants to hear. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly simple to envision Mega Medicham captivating an entire open area with their tales. Medicham’s official description also mentions its ability to predict an enemy’s future actions, which sounds quite similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is widely considered as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a intense sign famous for frequently getting absorbed in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully control,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. It is also known for its capability to make a storm cloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Besides the reality that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or horrifying, based on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Leo brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a show, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Maiden is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly judgmental is clearly reflected across this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a plan.

The Scales – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, sensitive creature, who employs the feelers on its ears to tell how people are emotionally by their pulse. Always compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are many Scales who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to stress more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Abandoned as a doll, it became consciousness through sheer resentment and vowed revenge on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a show. As a Archer myself, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “playful little entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the power to predict calamities in advance? That exudes the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who often consistently believe they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to 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 Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Aquarius is arguably the non-flame sign that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame category matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's description says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
