The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm within the fandom. From the gradual reveal of newcomers before the game's release, to players developing firm views on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.

With numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting distinctive designs that highlight their traits, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? This list is inspired by a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for Aries, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as always angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why Aries much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Stay on the friendly side of both and benefit from a strong ally; should you offend them, be ready to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross species, both in its regular and Mega form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the creature and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – be it their companion 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 past official descriptions note their craving for tasty sap and how it employs its horn to collect it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Look at this absolute royalty. It's impossible to convince me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, providing an constant fountain of chatter to those who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly simple to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole open area with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also states its ability to foresee an opponent's next moves, which sounds very similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Super Manectric

The Crab is widely regarded as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a intense sign famous for frequently getting absorbed in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to create a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to pick Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Leo brings to the table. Starmie is also said to be transmitting signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Leo to be staging a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally represented in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly critical is strongly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a always surprised face like a Maiden when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted face that’s similar to the emoji a Virgo posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic being, who uses the feelers on its ears to detect how others are feeling by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to maintain the peace, there are many Scales who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. However, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to worry more about others.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

Banette is a creature with a surprisingly tragic origin: Discarded as a toy, it gained consciousness through sheer hatred and swore revenge on its former owner. Per the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpion adores karma and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly staging a show. As a Archer myself, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful little jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to foresee disasters ahead of time? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to consistently think they’re right. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they often 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.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Aloof air sign Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire placement that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire category matches seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating aura is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
