The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement across the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers ahead of the game's release, to players forming firm views on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for enthusiasts to anticipate.

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

Aries – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was nearly selected for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why Aries far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of both and benefit from a strong partner; should you offend them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the reliable Heracross, both in its standard and Super Form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the Pokémon and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side to the end. What about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unashamed love of snacks. Many past official descriptions mention their fondness for tasty tree sap and how it uses its horn to collect it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this total royalty. You cannot tell me this Pokémon 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 incredibly easy to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an entire open area with their stories. Medicham’s official description also mentions its capacity to predict an enemy’s future actions, which seems very similar to a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely considered as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a intense symbol known for frequently becoming wrapped up in their feelings. According to the official info, Mega Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous amount of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to make a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their good time.

Leo – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was going to pick Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be far too obvious, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being extremely fabulous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Leo brings to the table. Starmie is also said to be transmitting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a show, albeit for aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant digestive issues. The sign known for being charmingly judgmental is clearly mirrored across this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a perpetually surprised expression like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s similar to the emoji a Virgo posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a strategy.

Libra – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic creature, who employs the sensors on its ears to detect how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and trying to keep the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would probably appreciate Super Audino's abilities. Though, to be frank, it would likely just make them worry more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a surprisingly sad origin: Abandoned as a toy, it gained consciousness through pure resentment and swore retribution on its former owner. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That sounds exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians 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 attention-seeking Super Form, its description even notes how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to predict disasters in advance? That exudes the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently believe they’re right. The thing is, much like a visionary Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that trainers meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Aloof element Aquarius is possibly the non-fire sign that is closest to a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Water Bearer being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame typing matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting aura is also extremely Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
