The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement within the community. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of newcomers ahead of the game's release, to players developing firm opinions on the full lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.

Given many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing distinctive designs that highlight their traits, one idea naturally: How can connect this with astrology? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why Aries much more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Stay on the friendly side of both and benefit from a strong partner; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross, both in its regular and Super Form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the Pokémon and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Many previous official descriptions mention their fondness for sweet sap and how it employs its horn to collect it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Look at this total royalty. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, offering an constant fountain of chatter to those who wish to hear. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly simple to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which sounds quite similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a passionate symbol known for frequently becoming absorbed in their emotions. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. It is also recognized for its ability to create a thundercloud over its own head – 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 going to select Pyroar for the king of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be far too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Players were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Leo brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a show, even if for aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The sign known for being charmingly judgmental is strongly reflected across this creature's whole lineage, from a always surprised expression like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s just like the symbol a Virgo posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic being, who employs the feelers on its ears to tell how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and trying to keep the peace, there are numerous Scales who would probably benefit from Super Audino's abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to stress even more about others.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it became consciousness through pure hatred and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a show. Being a Sagittarius myself, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “silly little jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even notes how it “flexes to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can think of.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the power to predict calamities ahead of time? That gives the exact same energy as a Goat, who often always think they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Aquarius is possibly the non-fire placement that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire category matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
