This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement within the fandom. From the gradual reveal of newcomers before the title's release, to trainers forming strong views on the full roster of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

With many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing unique designs that emphasize their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? This list is based on a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes Aries much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of both and benefit from a powerful partner; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its regular and Mega form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the Pokémon and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their position unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed love of treats. Several previous official descriptions note their craving for tasty sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Look at this absolute royalty. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the life of any gathering, offering an constant stream of chatter to those who wants to hear. Much like an captivating, gregarious Gemini, it's very simple to envision Mega Medicham captivating an whole open area with their stories. Medicham’s official description also mentions its ability to predict an opponent's future actions, which seems quite like a people-smart Twins.

Cancer – Super Manectric

The Crab is commonly considered as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol known for frequently becoming wrapped up in their emotions. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the creature with a “huge amount of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its ability to create a thundercloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Players were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the identical vibe a Lion offers to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a performance, even if for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign known for being endearingly critical is clearly reflected across this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a always shocked expression like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s just like the emoji a Maiden posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a strategy.

Libra – Mega Audino

Look at this sweet, sensitive being, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how others are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and striving to keep the peace, there are numerous Scales who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to stress more about others.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a toy, it gained consciousness through pure resentment and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion adores karma and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a show. As a Sagittarius personally, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly little jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to predict disasters in advance? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Goat, who often consistently think they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Aloof air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-fire placement that is most like a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
