This comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement within the community. From the gradual unveiling of newcomers before the game's release, to players developing firm views on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.

With many of the Super Forms boasting distinctive appearances that highlight their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? This list is based on a mix of vibes, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for Aries, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why Aries far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of either and benefit from a powerful ally; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross, both in its standard and Super Form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their position unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed love of treats. Several previous Pokédex entries note their fondness for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Observe this total royalty. You cannot tell me this creature is not the life of any gathering, providing an constant fountain of gossip to those who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, gregarious Gemini, it's very simple to envision Super Medicham captivating an entire Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s official description also states its capacity to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which sounds quite similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Super Manectric

The Crab is widely regarded as the most emotional member of the zodiac, a intense symbol famous for frequently becoming absorbed in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its capability to create a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be much too obvious, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being too fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Lion offers to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be broadcasting signals from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a performance, even if for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The sign famous for being charmingly judgmental is clearly reflected across this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s just like the symbol a Virgo sends to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic creature, who employs the feelers on its ears to detect how others are emotionally by their pulse. Always empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and striving to keep the harmony, there are many Scales who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them worry more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly tragic origin: Abandoned as a doll, it became sentient through sheer resentment and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a show. Being a Archer personally, the amount of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly small entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius match I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee calamities ahead of time? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to always believe they’re correct. The thing is, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join 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 counterpart is Leo, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame category matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating presence is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
