The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm across the community. From the gradual unveiling of newcomers ahead of the title's launch, to players developing strong opinions on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With numerous of the Super Forms showcasing unique appearances that highlight their traits, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? This list is based on a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost chosen for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why Aries far more akin to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of either and enjoy a powerful ally; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, both in its standard and Mega form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the creature and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side to the end. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Several previous Pokédex entries note their craving for tasty tree sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, providing an constant stream of chatter to anyone who wish to hear. Much like an enrapturing, sociable Twins, it's very simple to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an entire Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its ability to foresee an opponent's next moves, which sounds very similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol known for frequently getting absorbed in their feelings. According to the official info, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. It is also known for its capability to make a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the same energy a Leo brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Maiden is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The sign known for being endearingly critical is strongly reflected across this Pokémon’s entire lineage, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s just like the emoji a Virgo posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a strategy.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic being, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are many Scales who would likely appreciate Super Audino's abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them stress even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly sad backstory: Discarded as a toy, it gained consciousness through pure hatred and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpion loves karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a performance. As a Sagittarius personally, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “playful little jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even mentions how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee calamities in advance? That exudes the identical energy as a Capricorn, who tends to always think they’re right. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire placement that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame category matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating presence is also extremely Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
