This comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement across the fandom. From the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions before the title's launch, to trainers developing strong views on the full lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

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

Aries – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost selected for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes the Ram far more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Stay on the good side of either and enjoy a strong ally; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, both in its standard and Mega form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the creature and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their side unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed love of treats. Several past Pokédex entries note their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it all, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this total royalty. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the soul of every party, providing an constant fountain of gossip to those who wish to listen. Much like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly easy to imagine Super Medicham captivating an entire Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s official description also states its capacity to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which seems very similar to a people-smart Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol famous for often getting absorbed in their feelings. According to the official info, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to completely control,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to make a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to pick Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be much too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Lion offers to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly judgmental is clearly mirrored across this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s just like the symbol a Maiden sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic being, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how people are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are many Libras who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to stress even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it gained sentient through sheer resentment and vowed retribution on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a performance. Being a Archer personally, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly small entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even mentions how it “poses to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to predict disasters ahead of time? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently think they’re correct. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that players 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 air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire placement that is most like a flame symbol – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire typing fits perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
