The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement across the community. From the gradual unveiling of fresh additions before the game's release, to trainers developing firm opinions on the full lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.

Given many of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that highlight their personalities, one idea naturally: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? The following is based on a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

Aries – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom appears as always angry, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. This makes Aries much more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Remain on the friendly side of both and enjoy a strong partner; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its regular and Super Form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the creature and a Taurus are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their side to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unashamed love of snacks. Several past official descriptions mention their fondness for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this total royalty. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, providing an constant stream of chatter to anyone who wish to hear. Just like an captivating, gregarious Gemini, it's very simple to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also states its capacity to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which seems very like a socially-savvy Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a intense sign known for frequently getting wrapped up in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous quantity of energy, but it's excessive for Manectric to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its ability to make a thundercloud over its very head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Besides the reality that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the identical vibe a Lion offers to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting signals from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a performance, albeit for aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly critical is strongly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s entire lineage, from a always surprised face like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s just like the symbol a Virgo posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic creature, who uses the feelers on its ears to tell how people are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to keep the peace, there are many Libras who would likely appreciate Super Audino's skills. However, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to worry even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

Banette is a creature with a surprisingly sad origin: Abandoned as a doll, it gained sentient through sheer hatred and swore revenge on its former owner. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio loves karma and retribution, making them the perfect match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a performance. As a Archer myself, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly small jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even mentions how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to predict disasters ahead of time? That gives the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who often consistently believe they’re correct. The thing is, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Aloof air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame placement that is most like a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s double Spirit/Flame category matches seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating aura is also extremely Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
