The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm within the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of fresh additions ahead of the game's launch, to trainers developing strong views on the entire roster of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting distinctive appearances that highlight their traits, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? This list is based on a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as always angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes Aries much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when angered. Remain on the good side of either and benefit from a strong partner; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its standard and Super Form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their side unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unashamed love of snacks. Several past official descriptions mention their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Look at this absolute royalty. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the life of every party, providing an endless stream of gossip to anyone who wants to hear. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Twins, it's incredibly easy to envision Mega Medicham captivating an whole open area with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its ability to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which seems quite similar to a people-smart Twins.

Cancer – Super Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a intense sign known for often getting wrapped up in their emotions. Per the official info, Mega Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. It is also recognized for its capability to make a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was going to select Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Besides the reality that it would be far too on the nose, The Lion is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Players were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the same energy 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 typical of a Leo to be staging a show, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol 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 don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s just like the symbol a Virgo posts to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic creature, who uses the feelers on its ears to tell how people are emotionally by their pulse. Always empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and striving to maintain the peace, there are many Libras who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. However, to be frank, it would probably just make them stress more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Discarded as a toy, it gained sentient through pure hatred and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio adores karma and retribution, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a show. As a Archer myself, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some version of a “playful small jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even notes how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict calamities ahead of time? That gives the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently think they’re right. The thing is, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that players meet 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 Aquarius is arguably the non-flame sign that is most like a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous memes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating presence is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's description says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
