The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm within the fandom. Starting with the gradual unveiling of newcomers ahead of the game's release, to trainers developing strong opinions on the full lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting distinctive designs that emphasize their traits, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to link this with astrology? This list is inspired by a blend of vibes, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was almost chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as always furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why the Ram far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Stay on the good side of both and benefit from a strong partner; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its standard and Super Form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the creature and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side to the end. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Several past official descriptions note their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the soul of every party, providing an endless fountain of chatter to anyone who wants to listen. Just like an captivating, gregarious Gemini, it's incredibly easy to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their tales. Medicham’s official description also mentions its ability to foresee an opponent's next moves, which sounds very like a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

The Crab is widely considered as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a intense sign famous for often getting absorbed in their emotions. According to the official info, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous quantity of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. It is also recognized for its ability to make a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely 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 far too on the nose, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Players were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the same energy a Lion brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a performance, even if for aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly critical is clearly reflected throughout this creature's entire lineage, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo posts to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, sensitive being, who employs the sensors on its ears to tell how people are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s abilities. However, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to worry more about others.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Discarded as a toy, it became sentient through sheer hatred and swore revenge on its former owner. Per the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a show. Being a Sagittarius personally, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful little jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even mentions how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius match I can imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to predict calamities in advance? That gives the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who often always think they’re right. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is possibly the non-fire sign that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire typing matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating aura is also extremely Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
