The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement within the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's release, to trainers developing strong views on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions showcasing distinctive designs that highlight their traits, one thought naturally: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? This list is inspired by a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was almost chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why Aries much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of either and enjoy a strong partner; if you cross them, prepare to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, both in its regular and Mega form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their side to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Many previous Pokédex entries mention their craving for sweet tree sap and how it employs its horn to hoard it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. You cannot tell me this creature is not the life of any gathering, offering an constant stream of chatter to anyone who wish to listen. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's very simple to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which sounds very similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

The Crab is widely regarded as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign famous for often getting wrapped up in their feelings. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely control,” which seems a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to create a storm cloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you assume I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the king of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Players were captivated from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the identical vibe a Leo offers to the table. Starmie is also said to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a performance, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The sign known for being charmingly critical is strongly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised face like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, sensitive being, who employs the feelers on its ears to detect how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Always compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and striving to keep the peace, there are many Libras who would likely benefit from Mega Audino’s abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them worry even more about others.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Discarded as a doll, it gained sentient through pure hatred and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a performance. Being a Archer myself, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful little jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can think of.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the power to predict calamities in advance? That gives the exact same vibe as a Goat, who often consistently think they’re right. The thing is, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire sign that is most like a flame symbol – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting presence is also extremely Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
