The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm across the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one unveiling of fresh additions before the game's release, to trainers forming strong opinions on the full roster of new Megas, there's a lot for fans to look forward to.

Given many of the Super Forms boasting distinctive designs that emphasize their personalities, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? The following is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as always angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram far more similar to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of both and benefit from a powerful partner; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the reliable Heracross species, both in its regular and Mega form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the creature and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their side unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed passion for treats. Many past Pokédex entries note their craving for sweet tree sap and how it uses its horn to collect it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the life of any gathering, providing an constant stream of gossip to those who wants to hear. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly easy to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire Wild Zone with their tales. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also states its capacity to foresee an opponent's next moves, which seems quite like a people-smart Gemini.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most emotional member of the zodiac, a passionate sign known for frequently becoming absorbed in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “tremendous quantity of energy, but it's excessive for Manectric to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to create a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Well, did you assume I was planning to pick Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the same energy a Leo offers to the scene. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a show, even if for aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The sign known for being endearingly judgmental is strongly reflected throughout this Pokémon’s whole evolutionary chain, from a always surprised expression like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s just like the emoji a Maiden posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this sweet, empathetic being, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how others are feeling by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and trying to maintain the peace, there are many Scales who would likely appreciate Super Audino's abilities. Though, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to worry more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

Banette is a creature with a surprisingly tragic origin: Abandoned as a doll, it gained consciousness through sheer resentment and swore revenge on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

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

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee disasters in advance? That exudes the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who tends to always think they’re right. The thing is, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is possibly the non-fire sign that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s double Spirit/Flame category matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting aura is also extremely Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and transforms it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
