This comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement within the fandom. From the gradual reveal of newcomers before the title's launch, to players developing strong opinions on the full lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.

With many of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique appearances that emphasize their traits, one idea came to mind: How can connect this with astrology? The following is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why Aries much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Stay on the friendly side of either and enjoy a powerful ally; should you offend them, be ready to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its standard and Super Form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the creature and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – be it their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their position to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Several past official descriptions note their craving for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Observe this total queen. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the life of every party, offering an endless stream of gossip to those who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's very easy to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their tales. Medicham’s official description also mentions its capacity to predict an opponent's future actions, which seems quite similar to a people-smart Twins.

Cancer – Super Manectric

The Crab is widely regarded as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a passionate sign famous for frequently becoming absorbed in their emotions. Per the official info, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. It is also known for its ability to create a storm cloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was going to select Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Fans were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Leo offers to the scene. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a show, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly judgmental is strongly reflected throughout this creature's whole lineage, from a perpetually surprised face like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s just like the emoji a Virgo posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a strategy.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic being, who uses the sensors on its ears to tell how people are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to keep the peace, there are numerous Scales who would probably appreciate Super Audino's skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them worry more about others.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly tragic origin: Abandoned as a toy, it gained consciousness through sheer hatred and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio loves karma and retribution, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are constantly staging a performance. As a Archer myself, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly little entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even notes how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer counterpart I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict calamities in advance? That gives the identical vibe as a Goat, who often consistently believe they’re right. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame sign that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
