This comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm within the fandom. Starting with the gradual unveiling of newcomers before the title's launch, to players developing strong opinions on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing unique appearances that emphasize their traits, one thought naturally: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? This list is based on a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was almost chosen for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes Aries much more akin to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Stay on the friendly side of both and benefit from a strong partner; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross, whether in its standard and Mega form, has assisted many trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the Pokémon and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their position unwaveringly. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed passion for treats. Several previous Pokédex entries mention their craving for tasty sap and how it employs its horn to collect it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this absolute royalty. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, providing an endless fountain of chatter to those who wants to hear. Just like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's very simple to envision Mega Medicham captivating an entire open area with their stories. Medicham’s official description also states its capacity to foresee an opponent's future actions, which seems quite like a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most emotional member of the zodiac, a intense symbol known for frequently getting absorbed in their emotions. Per the official info, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to create a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to pick Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the identical energy a Lion offers to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a show, even if for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly critical is clearly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a always surprised face like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its upside-down visage that’s similar to the emoji a Virgo posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a plan.

The Scales – Super Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic being, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how others are feeling by their pulse. Always compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to maintain the peace, there are many Scales who would likely benefit from Super Audino's skills. However, to be frank, it would likely just make them worry more about others.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad origin: Discarded as a doll, it gained consciousness through sheer hatred and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion loves karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a show. As a Archer personally, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful small entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius match I can imagine.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee disasters in advance? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who often consistently believe they’re right. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

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