The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement within the community. From the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers ahead of the title's release, to trainers forming firm views on the full lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions showcasing distinctive designs that highlight their personalities, one thought naturally: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? The following is inspired by a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. But, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes Aries far more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Remain on the good side of both and benefit from a powerful ally; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross, whether in its standard and Super Form, has assisted many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the creature and a Bull are still Fighting types, and – be it their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their position to the end. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed love of treats. Several past Pokédex entries note their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it all, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Observe this total queen. You cannot convince me this creature is not the life of any gathering, providing an endless stream of chatter to anyone who wish to listen. Just like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly simple to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s official description also mentions its capacity to predict an enemy’s future actions, which sounds very similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol known for often getting absorbed in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge amount of energy, but it's excessive for Manectric to fully control,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to make a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was going to select Pyroar for the king of the stars? Aside from the fact that it would be far too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being too fabulous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Players were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the same energy a Leo offers to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting signals from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly judgmental is clearly mirrored across this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a always surprised expression like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a strategy.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic creature, who uses the feelers on its ears to detect how people are emotionally by their heartbeat. Always compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to keep the harmony, there are numerous Libras who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to worry even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Discarded as a toy, it became consciousness through pure hatred and swore retribution on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpion loves karma and retribution, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a show. As a Archer personally, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “playful little jester” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Archer counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to predict calamities in advance? That exudes the identical energy as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently think they’re right. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Aloof air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-flame placement that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire typing matches seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting aura is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
