The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense excitement within the fandom. Starting with the gradual reveal of fresh additions before the game's release, to trainers developing firm opinions on the full lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.

With numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that highlight their personalities, one thought naturally: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? This list is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly chosen for Aries, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that inspire the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram much more similar to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of both and enjoy a powerful partner; if you cross them, prepare to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, both in its regular and Super Form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the creature and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed love of treats. Many past official descriptions mention their craving for sweet tree sap and how it employs its horn to collect it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Super Medicham

Look at this total royalty. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, offering an endless stream of chatter to those who wish to hear. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly simple to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s official description also states its ability to foresee an opponent's next moves, which sounds quite similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign known for often getting absorbed in their emotions. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of energy, but it's excessive for Manectric to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer emotional outburst. It is also known for its ability to make a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to select Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Aside from the fact that it would be far too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Players were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the same energy a Lion brings to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be staging a show, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The sign famous for being endearingly critical is clearly mirrored across this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a always shocked expression like a Maiden when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s just like the symbol a Maiden posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic creature, who employs the feelers on its ears to detect how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and striving to keep the peace, there are numerous Scales who would probably benefit from Super Audino's abilities. Though, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to stress even more about others.

Scorpio – Super Banette

Banette is a creature with a surprisingly tragic origin: Abandoned as a doll, it gained consciousness through pure hatred and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio loves karma and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a performance. Being a Archer myself, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful small jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict calamities ahead of time? That gives the exact same vibe as a Goat, who often consistently think they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very first Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is possibly the non-fire placement that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame typing matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
