The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm across the fandom. From the gradual unveiling of fresh additions ahead of the title's release, to trainers developing firm opinions on the full roster of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given many of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that emphasize their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? This list is based on a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom appears as always angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes Aries far more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Stay on the good side of either and enjoy a powerful ally; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its standard and Super Form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the Pokémon and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position unwaveringly. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed love of treats. Many past official descriptions note their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this absolute queen. It's impossible to convince me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, providing an endless stream of gossip to anyone who wish to hear. Much like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's very easy to envision Super Medicham captivating an entire open area with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its ability to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which sounds very like a people-smart Twins.

Cancer – Super Manectric

The Crab is commonly considered as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol famous for frequently becoming wrapped up in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. It is also known for its capability to create a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to pick Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the reality that it would be far too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being too fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Lion offers to the table. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a show, even if for aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly judgmental is strongly mirrored across this Pokémon’s entire lineage, from a always surprised expression like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a strategy.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this sweet, sensitive creature, who uses the feelers on its ears to tell how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are many Libras 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

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it became consciousness through sheer hatred and swore revenge on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a show. Being a Sagittarius myself, the amount of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful small jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to foresee disasters ahead of time? That exudes the identical vibe as a Goat, who tends to always think they’re correct. The thing is, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Aloof air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-fire sign that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable accomplices. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's overall daunting presence is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
