The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense excitement within the community. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of newcomers before the title's launch, to trainers developing firm views on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

Given many of the Super Forms boasting distinctive designs that emphasize their traits, one idea naturally: How can connect this with zodiac signs? This list is inspired by a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes Aries far more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely spews lava when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of either and benefit from a powerful partner; if you cross them, prepare to face the consequences.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, both in its regular and Mega form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, each the Pokémon and a Bull are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their position to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed love of treats. Several previous official descriptions mention their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, providing an constant fountain of gossip to those who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Twins, it's incredibly simple to imagine Super Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its capacity to predict an opponent's future actions, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is widely regarded as the most emotional member of the zodiac, a passionate sign known for frequently becoming wrapped up in their feelings. According to the official info, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. It is also recognized for its capability to create a thundercloud over its very self – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to select Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Leo brings to the table. Starmie is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its red core out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a show, even if for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The sign known for being endearingly critical is clearly reflected throughout this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked face like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s just like the symbol a Virgo sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic creature, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how people are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and trying to keep the harmony, there are many Scales who would likely appreciate Super Audino's abilities. However, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to worry more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Discarded as a toy, it gained sentient through sheer hatred and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly staging a performance. Being a Archer personally, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly small entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry 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 Super Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can imagine.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict calamities in advance? That exudes the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who often always think they’re right. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Super Form that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-fire sign that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s double Spirit/Flame category fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's overall daunting aura is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
