The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense excitement across the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of fresh additions before the game's launch, to players forming firm opinions on the full roster of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.

Given many of the Super Forms boasting distinctive appearances that highlight their traits, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? The following is based on a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was almost chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes the Ram much more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Remain on the good side of either and benefit from a strong partner; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Similar to a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross, whether in its regular and Super Form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the creature and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their side to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed love of treats. Many past official descriptions mention their fondness for tasty sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, offering an constant stream of chatter to anyone who wish to listen. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Gemini, it's very easy to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an entire Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which sounds very similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly considered as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a intense symbol famous for often getting absorbed in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to fully control,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab crash-out. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to create a storm cloud over its very self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Well, did you assume I was going to pick Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being too glamorous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Lion brings to the table. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a show, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly critical is clearly mirrored across this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a always shocked face like a Maiden when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s similar to the emoji a Virgo posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a plan.

The Scales – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, sensitive being, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how people are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to keep the peace, there are many Scales who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. However, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to stress even more about others.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Abandoned as a toy, it became sentient through sheer resentment and swore revenge on its former owner. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio friends. A Scorpio loves karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a performance. Being a Archer myself, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful little entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can imagine.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to foresee calamities in advance? That gives the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who often always think they’re right. The thing is, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute initial Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame category fits perfectly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating aura is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
