The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm across the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of fresh additions ahead of the title's release, to players developing strong opinions on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given many of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive designs that emphasize their traits, one thought naturally: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? The following is inspired by a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as always furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why Aries much more similar to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when angered. Remain on the good side of either and enjoy a powerful partner; if you cross them, prepare to face the consequences.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross species, both in its regular and Super Form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the creature and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side to the end. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed love of snacks. Many previous official descriptions mention their craving for tasty tree sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Look at this total queen. It's impossible to convince me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, offering an constant fountain of chatter to anyone who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's very easy to imagine Super Medicham captivating an whole open area with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to predict an enemy’s future actions, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a passionate sign known for often getting wrapped up in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to make a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to pick Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be far too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Fans were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the same energy a Lion offers to the scene. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a show, even if for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The sign famous for being endearingly judgmental is clearly reflected across this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked expression like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down visage that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo sends to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of creating a plan.

The Scales – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic creature, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to keep the harmony, there are many Scales who would likely appreciate Super Audino's skills. Though, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to worry even more about others.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Discarded as a doll, it became sentient through pure resentment and swore revenge on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion adores karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a performance. Being a Sagittarius personally, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “silly little entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can imagine.

The Goat – Super 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 visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is possibly the non-fire placement that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame category fits perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
