This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense excitement across the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers ahead of the game's launch, to trainers developing firm opinions on the entire roster of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

Given many of the Super Forms boasting unique designs that emphasize their traits, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? The following is inspired by a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was almost selected for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why the Ram far more similar to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of either and enjoy a strong partner; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its regular and Mega form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, each the creature and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their side unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed passion for treats. Many previous Pokédex entries note their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this total royalty. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the life of every party, offering an endless stream of gossip to those who wants to hear. Much like an enrapturing, gregarious Gemini, it's incredibly simple to imagine Super Medicham captivating an whole open area with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its capacity to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which sounds very similar to a people-smart Gemini.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most sensitive member of the astrological wheel, a intense sign known for often becoming absorbed in their emotions. Per the official info, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its ability to make a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Leo brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a performance, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign famous for being charmingly critical is clearly mirrored across this Pokémon’s entire lineage, from a always surprised expression like a Maiden when you inform them you lack a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s just like the symbol a Virgo sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic creature, who uses the sensors on its ears to detect how others are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and striving to maintain the harmony, there are numerous Libras who would probably appreciate Super Audino's abilities. However, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to worry even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Discarded as a doll, it became consciousness through pure resentment and vowed retribution on its previous caretaker. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a show. Being a Archer personally, the amount of times I’ve called myself some version of a “playful small jester” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even mentions how it “flexes to show off its power.” 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.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to foresee disasters ahead of time? That exudes the identical energy as a Capricorn, who tends to always think they’re right. The thing is, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-flame placement that is closest to a flame symbol – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about the Archer and Water Bearer being chaotic partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s double Spirit/Flame typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting presence is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
