The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm across the community. From the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers ahead of the title's launch, to trainers developing firm opinions on the full roster of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.

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

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost selected for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes the Ram far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of both and enjoy a strong ally; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross species, both in its standard and Super Form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will defend their side to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed love of treats. Many past official descriptions note their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Observe this total royalty. It's impossible to convince me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, providing an constant fountain of gossip to those who wish to hear. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly easy to imagine Super Medicham captivating an entire open area with their tales. Medicham’s official description also mentions its capacity to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which sounds quite similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign known for frequently becoming absorbed in their emotions. Per the official info, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “huge amount of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to create a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was going to pick Pyroar for the king of the stars? Besides the reality that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Lion offers to the table. Starmie is also said to be transmitting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly judgmental is strongly mirrored across this creature's whole lineage, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, sensitive creature, who employs the sensors on its ears to tell how people are emotionally by their pulse. Always empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to keep the peace, there are numerous Libras who would likely benefit from Super Audino's skills. Though, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to stress more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly sad origin: Discarded as a toy, it gained consciousness through pure hatred and swore retribution on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a show. Being a Archer personally, the amount of times I’ve called myself some version of a “silly small entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant 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 Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can think of.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the ability to predict disasters ahead of time? That exudes the identical vibe as a Goat, who tends to always think they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire sign that is most like a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire typing fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting presence is also extremely Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
