The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm across the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of fresh additions ahead of the game's launch, to trainers developing strong opinions 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 idea naturally: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? This list is inspired by a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes Aries far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when angered. Stay on the friendly side of either and benefit from a powerful ally; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its standard and Super Form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the creature and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their position to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed passion for treats. Many past Pokédex entries note their craving for tasty sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Look at this total royalty. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, offering an constant fountain of chatter to anyone who wants to hear. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly easy to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an entire open area with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its ability to predict an opponent's future actions, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a passionate symbol famous for frequently getting absorbed in their feelings. According to the official info, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “huge quantity of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to make a thundercloud over its own self – 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 assume I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Players were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the identical vibe a Lion offers to the table. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a performance, albeit for aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly judgmental is strongly mirrored across this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked face like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s similar to the emoji a Virgo posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a strategy.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this sweet, sensitive creature, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how people are feeling by their pulse. Always compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to keep the peace, there are numerous Libras who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. Though, to be frank, it would likely just make them stress even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad backstory: Discarded as a doll, it gained consciousness through pure resentment and vowed retribution on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpio friends. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a show. As a Sagittarius myself, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful small jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can think of.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

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

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire placement that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating aura is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's description says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
