This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm across the community. From the gradual reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's release, to trainers developing strong opinions on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Super Forms showcasing unique designs that emphasize their personalities, one thought came to mind: How can link this with zodiac signs? The following is based on a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Ram's energy, known for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why Aries much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Stay on the good side of either and benefit from a powerful partner; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross species, whether in its regular and Mega form, has aided numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a strong opinion – will defend their side to the end. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed passion for treats. Many previous official descriptions note their fondness for tasty sap and how it employs its horn to collect it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the life of every party, providing an constant fountain of gossip to those who wish to hear. Just like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's incredibly simple to envision Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its capacity to foresee an opponent's future actions, which sounds very similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

The Crab is widely considered as the most emotional member of the zodiac, a intense sign known for frequently becoming absorbed in their emotions. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. It is also recognized for its capability to create a storm cloud over its own self – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was going to select Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Fans were captivated from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the same energy a Lion brings to the scene. Starmie is also rumored to be transmitting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be staging a show, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The sign known for being charmingly critical is strongly reflected throughout this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a always shocked expression like a Maiden when you inform them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden posts to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a plan.

The Scales – Super Audino

Observe this sweet, sensitive creature, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and trying to keep the peace, there are numerous Scales who would likely appreciate Super Audino's abilities. However, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to worry more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad backstory: Discarded as a doll, it became consciousness through sheer resentment and vowed retribution on its former owner. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion loves karma and retribution, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a performance. As a Sagittarius personally, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly little jester” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even mentions how it “poses to show off its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super 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 calamities ahead of time? That gives the identical energy as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently think they’re right. Interestingly, similar to a prophetic Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is possibly the non-flame placement that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being chaotic partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s double Spirit/Flame category fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting aura is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
