This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement across the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers ahead of the game's launch, to trainers developing strong views on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

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

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost selected for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Remain on the friendly side of either and enjoy a strong ally; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its regular and Super Form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the creature and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – be it their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed passion for treats. Several previous Pokédex entries mention their fondness for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. You cannot tell me this creature is not the soul of every party, offering an constant stream of chatter to anyone who wish to listen. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's very simple to imagine Super Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its ability to predict an opponent's future actions, which seems quite similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Super Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a intense sign known for often getting absorbed in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to make a thundercloud 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

Well, did you assume I was going to pick Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the reality that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is clearly Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being too glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Players were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the identical vibe a Leo brings to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly judgmental is strongly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s entire lineage, from a perpetually shocked face like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s just like the emoji a Virgo posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a strategy.

Libra – Super Audino

Look at this gentle, sensitive creature, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how people are emotionally by their heartbeat. Always compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and trying to maintain the peace, there are numerous Libras who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. Though, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to stress more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Abandoned as a toy, it became sentient through sheer hatred and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion loves karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are constantly staging a performance. Being a Archer myself, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some version of a “playful little jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even notes how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the ability to foresee calamities in advance? That gives the exact same energy as a Goat, who tends to consistently believe they’re right. The thing is, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute initial Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire 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 perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting aura is also extremely Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
