The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement across the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one unveiling of fresh additions before the game's launch, to trainers forming firm opinions on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that highlight their traits, one thought naturally: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? This list is based on a mix of vibes, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Remain on the good side of either and benefit from a strong partner; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Super Heracross

Similar to a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its regular and Mega form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the creature and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their side unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Many past official descriptions note their craving for tasty sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Look at this absolute queen. It's impossible to convince me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, offering an constant fountain of gossip to those who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, gregarious Gemini, it's incredibly simple to imagine Mega Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also states its capacity to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which seems very like a people-smart Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is widely considered as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a intense sign known for frequently becoming absorbed in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution charges the Pokémon with a “huge quantity of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to fully control,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. It is also known for its capability to make a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to pick Pyroar for the king of the stars? Aside from the reality that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Players were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the identical vibe a Lion brings to the scene. Starmie is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a performance, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The sign famous for being charmingly critical is strongly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a always shocked expression like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a strategy.

Libra – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic creature, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how people are feeling by their pulse. Always compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and trying to maintain the peace, there are numerous Libras who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. Though, let’s be honest, it would probably just cause them to stress more about others.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Abandoned as a doll, it gained consciousness through pure hatred and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio loves karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a show. Being a Archer personally, the number of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly little entertainer” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “poses to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Archer counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict disasters in advance? That gives the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently believe they’re correct. Interestingly, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Aquarius is possibly the non-fire placement that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s double Spirit/Flame category matches seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating presence is also very Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
