This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm within the fandom. Starting with the gradual reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's release, to trainers forming firm views on the full roster of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to look forward to.

With numerous of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive designs that highlight their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? This list is inspired by a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes the Ram much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Stay on the good side of either and enjoy a strong ally; should you offend them, prepare to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross, both in its regular and Super Form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the creature and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their position to the end. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed love of treats. Many past Pokédex entries mention their craving for tasty tree sap and how it employs its horn to collect it all, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Look at this absolute queen. You cannot tell me this creature is not the life of every party, offering an constant fountain of chatter to anyone who wants to listen. Much like an enrapturing, sociable Twins, it's incredibly easy to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also states its capacity to predict an enemy’s next moves, which sounds very similar to a people-smart Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a intense symbol famous for frequently becoming absorbed in their emotions. According to the official info, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to make a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Aside from 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 too fabulous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the same energy a Lion offers to the scene. Starmie is also said 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.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly critical is strongly reflected throughout this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised face like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s just like the symbol a Maiden sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a strategy.

Libra – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, sensitive being, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Libras who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just make them worry even more about others.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad origin: Discarded as a doll, it became sentient through sheer resentment and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a performance. As a Sagittarius personally, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful little entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even notes how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to foresee disasters in advance? That gives the identical vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to always believe they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-flame placement that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless memes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable accomplices. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire category matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
