This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm within the community. From the gradual reveal of newcomers ahead of the title's release, to trainers forming firm opinions on the full lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

With numerous of the Super Forms boasting unique designs that emphasize their traits, one idea came to mind: How can link this with zodiac signs? This list is based on a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for Aries, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram far more similar to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of either and enjoy a powerful partner; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its regular and Mega form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their side to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed love of treats. Several previous Pokédex entries mention their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it uses its horn to hoard it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, offering an constant fountain of gossip to those who wish to listen. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Gemini, it's incredibly easy to envision Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their stories. This Pokémon's official description also states its capacity to predict an opponent's next moves, which seems quite similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol known for often getting absorbed in their feelings. According to the official info, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its ability to make a thundercloud over its very head – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to pick Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be far too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Players were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Leo offers to the scene. Starmie is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a performance, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly judgmental is clearly reflected across this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a always surprised expression 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 “go with the flow” instead of creating a strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, sensitive being, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to keep the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would likely appreciate Super Audino's abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to stress even more about others.

Scorpio – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic origin: Discarded as a doll, it became sentient through pure hatred and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion adores karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always putting on a show. Being a Archer personally, the number of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful small jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even mentions how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to predict calamities ahead of time? That exudes the identical vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently think they’re correct. The thing is, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame placement that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame typing matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating presence is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
