This comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm within the fandom. Starting with the gradual unveiling of newcomers ahead of the title's release, to players forming firm opinions on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

Given many of the Mega Evolutions showcasing distinctive designs that emphasize their traits, one thought naturally: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? This list is based on a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndour's evolution was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as always furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why Aries much more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Stay on the good side of either and enjoy a powerful ally; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its regular and Mega form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the creature and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will defend their side to the end. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed passion for treats. Several previous official descriptions note their craving for tasty tree sap and how it uses its horn to hoard it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Observe this total queen. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, providing an constant stream of gossip to anyone who wants to hear. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's very easy to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to predict an opponent's next moves, which sounds very like a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most emotional sign of the zodiac, a intense sign known for frequently becoming wrapped up in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “huge quantity of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to make a thundercloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their good time.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Well, did you assume I was planning to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Leo offers to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The sign famous for being endearingly critical is strongly reflected throughout this creature's whole lineage, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s similar to the emoji a Maiden posts to the group chat when all says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic being, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are many Scales who would likely benefit from Super Audino's abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them stress more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Discarded as a toy, it gained sentient through sheer resentment and swore revenge on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpio loves karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a show. As a Sagittarius myself, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful small entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict disasters in advance? That exudes the identical energy as a Capricorn, who tends to always think they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – 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 countless memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s double Spirit/Flame category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general intimidating presence is also extremely Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
