This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement across the community. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of newcomers ahead of the title's release, to players forming strong views on the full lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions showcasing distinctive designs that emphasize their personalities, one thought naturally: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? The following is inspired by a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and individual observations.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was almost chosen for Aries, as they are the Super Form and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes the Ram much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Stay on the good side of both and enjoy a powerful partner; if you cross them, prepare to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Similar to a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross species, both in its regular and Mega form, has assisted many players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the creature and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their side unwaveringly. What about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed love of snacks. Several previous official descriptions mention their fondness for tasty sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it everything, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Look at this absolute queen. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, providing an constant stream of chatter to those who wants to hear. Just like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very easy to imagine Super Medicham captivating an entire Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s official description also states its capacity to predict an opponent's next moves, which sounds quite similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

The Crab – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly considered as the most emotional member of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign famous for frequently becoming absorbed in their feelings. Per the official info, Mega Evolution fills the creature with a “huge quantity of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to completely control,” which seems a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to create a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s one thing a Crab is going to do, it’s rain on their good time.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to select Pyroar for the lion of the stars? Besides the fact that it would be much too obvious, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, depending on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Lion offers to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a performance, albeit for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Maiden is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The sign known for being endearingly judgmental is strongly reflected across this Pokémon’s entire lineage, from a perpetually surprised expression 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 Maiden posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than creating a plan.

Libra – Mega Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic being, who uses the sensors on its auditory organs to tell how others are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and trying to maintain the peace, there are many Scales who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them worry more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Abandoned as a toy, it gained consciousness through pure resentment and vowed retribution on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems precisely like many conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always putting on a show. As a Sagittarius myself, the amount of occasions I’ve referred to myself some version of a “playful little entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even notes 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 fitting Sagittarius match I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Did you know that a Super Absol has the ability to foresee disasters ahead of time? That gives the exact same vibe as a Goat, who tends to always think they’re right. The thing is, much like a prophetic Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Aloof element Water Bearer is arguably the non-fire sign that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting presence is also extremely Aquarius. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs hatred and transforms it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
