The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm across the community. From the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions before the game's launch, to trainers developing firm opinions on the entire roster of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

Given many of the Mega Evolutions boasting distinctive designs that highlight their personalities, one idea naturally: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? This list is inspired by a mix of vibes, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was almost chosen for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes the Ram much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Stay on the good side of either and benefit from a powerful ally; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its regular and Mega form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the creature and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their side to the end. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed love of snacks. Many previous Pokédex entries mention their craving for tasty sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this absolute queen. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the soul of every party, providing an endless stream of gossip to anyone who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's very easy to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also states its ability to predict an enemy’s next moves, which sounds very like a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Super Manectric

The Crab is widely regarded as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a passionate sign famous for often becoming absorbed in their feelings. According to the official info, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely control,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to create a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their good time.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you think I was going to pick Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the same energy a Lion offers to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a show, even if for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly critical is strongly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a always surprised expression like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a strategy.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic creature, who uses the sensors on its ears to detect how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to keep the harmony, there are numerous Libras who would likely benefit from Super Audino's abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to stress more about others.

Scorpio – Super Banette

Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly sad origin: Discarded as a doll, it gained consciousness through sheer hatred and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio friends. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a performance. Being a Sagittarius personally, the amount of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful little jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “flexes to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee calamities ahead of time? That exudes the exact same energy as a Goat, who tends to always believe they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-flame sign that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire category matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into power.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
