The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm across the fandom. Starting with the gradual unveiling of newcomers before the title's launch, to trainers developing firm views on the full roster of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With numerous of the Super Forms boasting distinctive appearances that emphasize their personalities, one idea naturally: How can connect this with astrology? This list is inspired by a mix of vibes, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

Aries – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram far more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of either and enjoy a powerful ally; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its regular and Super Form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the creature and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their side to the end. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed passion for treats. Many previous Pokédex entries mention their craving for sweet tree sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Observe this total queen. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the life of any gathering, offering an constant fountain of gossip to anyone who wish to listen. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Twins, it's very easy to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s official description also mentions its capacity to foresee an opponent's future actions, which sounds very similar to a people-smart Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

The Crab is commonly considered as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a intense sign famous for frequently getting wrapped up in their feelings. According to the official info, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge amount of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely control,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to create a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was going to pick Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be much too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the same energy a Leo offers to the scene. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a show, even if for aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The sign famous for being charmingly judgmental is strongly mirrored across this creature's entire lineage, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s just like the emoji a Virgo posts to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic being, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how others are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to keep the harmony, there are numerous Libras who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to worry even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a creature with a surprisingly sad origin: Discarded as a doll, it gained sentient through sheer resentment and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a performance. As a Archer myself, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “playful small jester” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee calamities in advance? That gives the exact same energy as a Goat, who often always believe they’re right. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is arguably the non-fire sign that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame category matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
