The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense enthusiasm within the community. Starting with the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers before the title's launch, to trainers forming strong views on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.

With many of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that emphasize their personalities, one thought naturally: How can link this with zodiac signs? This list is based on a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost chosen for Aries, as both are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why Aries far more similar to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Remain on the good side of both and enjoy a strong ally; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its regular and Mega form, has assisted numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. While trustworthy, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their side to the end. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed passion for treats. Several past Pokédex entries mention their craving for tasty tree sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Look at this absolute royalty. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, offering an endless fountain of gossip to those who wants to hear. Just like an captivating, gregarious Gemini, it's very easy to imagine Super Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to foresee an opponent's future actions, which sounds quite like a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a intense sign famous for frequently becoming wrapped up in their feelings. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous quantity of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. It is also recognized for its capability to make a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to select the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being too glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Leo brings to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be broadcasting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be staging a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign known for being charmingly critical is clearly mirrored across this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a always shocked face like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a retirement plan, to its inverted visage that’s just like the symbol a Maiden posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” instead of making a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic being, who employs the feelers on its ears to detect how others are emotionally by their pulse. Always compassionate – sometimes to a fault – and trying to keep the peace, there are numerous Scales who would probably appreciate Mega Audino’s skills. However, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to worry even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Discarded as a doll, it became consciousness through sheer resentment and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a performance. As a Sagittarius myself, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “silly little jester” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Mega Evolution, its description even notes how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can imagine.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to predict disasters ahead of time? That exudes the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who tends to always think they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Capricorn to get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-fire sign that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting presence is also extremely Water Bearer. If you weren’t already convinced, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
