The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm within the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of newcomers before the title's release, to players developing firm opinions on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.

With numerous of the Super Forms boasting unique appearances that highlight their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? This list is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was almost selected for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as always angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Remain on the good side of both and benefit from a strong partner; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its regular and Super Form, has assisted many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the Pokémon and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their position to the end. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unashamed love of snacks. Several past official descriptions note their craving for sweet sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it everything, which is true Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the soul of every party, providing an endless fountain of gossip to anyone who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very easy to envision Mega Medicham captivating an entire Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to foresee an opponent's future actions, which seems quite similar to a people-smart Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

The Crab is widely regarded as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign famous for frequently becoming absorbed in their emotions. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “huge quantity of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. It is also recognized for its capability to make a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the stars? Besides the reality that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Players were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Leo brings to the scene. Starmie is also rumored to be broadcasting radio waves from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a show, albeit for aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The sign known for being charmingly judgmental is clearly mirrored across this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a always surprised expression like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a plan.

The Scales – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic creature, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how others are feeling by their pulse. Always compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and trying to maintain the peace, there are numerous Libras who would probably benefit from Super Audino's skills. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them stress more about others.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly sad backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it became consciousness through pure hatred and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly staging a show. Being a Archer myself, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly small jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even mentions how it “flexes to display its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to foresee calamities ahead of time? That gives the identical vibe as a Goat, who often always believe they’re right. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s double Spirit/Flame typing fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall daunting aura is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
