This comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement within the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers before the title's release, to trainers developing strong opinions on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to anticipate.

Given many of the Super Forms showcasing unique designs that highlight their personalities, one idea came to mind: How can link this with zodiac signs? The following is based on a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why Aries much more akin to Super Camerupt, which solely erupts when angered. Remain on the good side of both and enjoy a strong partner; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Much like a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its standard and Super Form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the creature and a Bull are still Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their position to the end. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unashamed passion for snacks. Many past official descriptions note their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Observe this total queen. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the life of any gathering, providing an constant fountain of chatter to those who wish to hear. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Twins, it's very simple to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which seems very similar to a people-smart Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most sensitive sign of the zodiac, a intense symbol known for often getting wrapped up in their emotions. Per the Pokédex, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's too much for Manectric to fully control,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its ability to make a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to select Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being too fabulous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Players were captivated from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Leo brings to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a show, even if for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being charmingly critical is strongly reflected across this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a perpetually surprised face like a Virgo when you inform them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s similar to the emoji a Virgo sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this sweet, sensitive creature, who employs the sensors on its ears to detect how people are feeling by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a detriment – and striving to maintain the peace, there are numerous Libras who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them stress more about others.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic origin: Discarded as a toy, it became sentient through pure hatred and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio loves karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a show. Being a Sagittarius myself, the amount of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful little jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even mentions how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most apt Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the power to predict calamities ahead of time? That gives the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently believe they’re correct. The thing is, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire placement that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire category matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall daunting presence is also extremely Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “draws in hatred and converts it into power.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
