This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm across the community. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of newcomers before the game's launch, to players forming firm views on the entire roster of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given many of the Super Forms boasting unique designs that emphasize their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? The following is based on a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom appears as always furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why Aries far more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of both and benefit from a strong partner; should you offend them, be ready to face the consequences.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Much like a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, both in its regular and Mega form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, each the creature and a Bull are also battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their position unwaveringly. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Many past official descriptions note their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Look at this total queen. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, providing an constant stream of chatter to anyone who wants to listen. Just like an captivating, gregarious Gemini, it's very simple to envision Mega Medicham captivating an entire Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's official description also states its ability to foresee an opponent's next moves, which seems quite similar to a people-smart Gemini.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign known for often getting wrapped up in their emotions. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge amount of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely manage,” which seems a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to create a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Fans were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the identical vibe a Lion brings to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting radio waves from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a performance, albeit for aliens.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The sign famous for being endearingly judgmental is strongly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked face like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s just like the emoji a Virgo posts to the group chat when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a strategy.

Libra – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic creature, who uses the sensors on its ears to tell how people are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to keep the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would probably benefit from Super Audino's abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would likely just cause them to worry even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly sad origin: Abandoned as a toy, it became sentient through sheer resentment and vowed revenge on its former owner. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a performance. As a Sagittarius myself, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “playful little jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can think of.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the power to predict calamities ahead of time? That exudes the identical vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to always believe they’re right. Interestingly, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-flame placement that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting presence is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
