This comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement within the fandom. From the one-by-one reveal of newcomers before the game's release, to players forming strong views on the entire roster of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

With many of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that emphasize their traits, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? The following is based on a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was almost chosen for Aries, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram far more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when angered. Remain on the friendly side of both and enjoy a powerful partner; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross, whether in its regular and Super Form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the creature and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their side to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed passion for treats. Many previous official descriptions note their fondness for tasty sap and how it uses its horn to hoard it everything, which is true Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, offering an constant stream of gossip to anyone who wants to hear. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very easy to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to predict an enemy’s next moves, which sounds quite similar to a people-smart Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a passionate symbol known for often getting wrapped up in their emotions. According to the official info, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. It is also recognized for its capability to make a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be far too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Leo brings to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a performance, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual acid reflux. The sign famous for being endearingly critical is clearly mirrored across this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a perpetually surprised face like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s just like the emoji a Virgo sends to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic creature, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how people are feeling by their pulse. Always empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and striving to keep the peace, there are many Scales who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to worry more about others.

Scorpio – Super Banette

Banette is a creature with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it gained consciousness through pure resentment and vowed retribution on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpio adores karma and retribution, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a show. Being a Sagittarius myself, the amount of times I’ve called myself some version of a “silly small entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to foresee calamities ahead of time? That exudes the identical energy as a Goat, who often consistently think they’re right. The thing is, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame sign that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating presence is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s description says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
