The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement across the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers ahead of the title's release, to trainers forming strong opinions on the full roster of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given many of the Super Forms showcasing unique appearances that highlight their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with astrology? This list is based on a mix of vibes, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was almost selected for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom appears as always angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when angered. Remain on the good side of either and benefit from a powerful partner; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross, whether in its standard and Mega form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the creature and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will defend their position to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed love of snacks. Many past official descriptions mention their craving for tasty tree sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this absolute royalty. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the life of every party, offering an constant fountain of chatter to those who wants to listen. Just like an captivating, gregarious Gemini, it's very simple to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also states its capacity to predict an enemy’s next moves, which sounds very like a people-smart Twins.

Cancer – Super Manectric

The Crab is widely considered as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a passionate sign known for frequently getting wrapped up in their emotions. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. It is also recognized for its ability to create a thundercloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the reality that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being too fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Lion brings to the table. Starmie is also said to be transmitting signals from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a show, even if for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly critical is strongly mirrored across this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a always shocked expression like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s just like the emoji a Maiden sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a strategy.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic creature, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how people are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and striving to maintain the peace, there are many Libras who would probably benefit from Super Audino's skills. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to worry more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic origin: Abandoned as a doll, it gained consciousness through pure resentment and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a show. As a Archer myself, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful small jester” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even notes how it “poses to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius match I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict disasters in advance? That exudes the identical energy as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently believe they’re correct. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s double Spirit/Flame typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating aura is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
