This comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense excitement within the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers before the game's launch, to players developing strong opinions on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.

Given many of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive designs that highlight their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? The following is inspired by a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why Aries much more similar to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Stay on the friendly side of either and enjoy a powerful ally; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its standard and Super Form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the creature and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed passion for treats. Many previous Pokédex entries note their fondness for sweet sap and how it employs its horn to collect it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Observe this total royalty. You cannot tell me this creature is not the soul of every party, offering an constant stream of gossip to those who wish to hear. Just like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very easy to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its capacity to foresee an opponent's future actions, which sounds very like a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a intense symbol famous for often becoming absorbed in their feelings. According to the official info, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. It is also known for its capability to make a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Besides the reality that it would be far too obvious, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being too glamorous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Players were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the same energy a Leo brings to the scene. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a performance, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly judgmental is strongly mirrored across this Pokémon’s entire lineage, from a perpetually shocked face like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden posts to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a strategy.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, sensitive creature, who uses the feelers on its ears to tell how others are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and striving to maintain the peace, there are many Scales who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. Though, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to worry even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it became sentient through sheer hatred and vowed revenge on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpio adores karma and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a performance. Being a Archer myself, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly little jester” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, 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 Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the ability to predict calamities in advance? That gives the exact same energy as a Goat, who tends to consistently believe they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Aloof air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-fire sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire typing matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's description says it “draws in hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
