The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm within the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers before the title's release, to players forming strong opinions on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Super Forms showcasing unique designs that emphasize their personalities, one thought naturally: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? The following is inspired by a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

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. However, a Super Houndoom appears as always furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why Aries much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Stay on the good side of either and enjoy a strong ally; should you offend them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its standard and Super Form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the Pokémon and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their position to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unashamed passion for treats. Several previous Pokédex entries note their fondness for sweet sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this total royalty. You cannot convince me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, providing an constant fountain of chatter to anyone who wish to listen. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly simple to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their stories. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its capacity to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which seems quite like a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a intense symbol famous for often getting wrapped up in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to create a storm cloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to select Pyroar for the king of the stars? Aside from the fact that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is clearly Mega Starmie, the diva whose legs just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Players were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Lion brings to the scene. This Pokémon 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 – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly judgmental is clearly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a always shocked expression like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its upside-down visage that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic creature, who employs the sensors on its ears to tell how others are feeling by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to keep the harmony, there are many Scales who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. However, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to worry even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly sad origin: Abandoned as a doll, it became sentient through pure hatred and swore revenge on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a show. As a Sagittarius personally, the amount of times I’ve called myself some version of a “playful small entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – 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 believe they’re right. Interestingly, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Aloof air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-flame sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being chaotic accomplices. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire category matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
