The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement within the community. From the gradual reveal of newcomers before the title's launch, to players forming firm views on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to look forward to.

With many of the Super Forms boasting unique appearances that highlight their traits, one idea naturally: How can link this with zodiac signs? The following is inspired by a mix of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndour's evolution was almost selected for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the most fear. But, a Super Houndoom appears as always angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being playful, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why the Ram much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Remain on the good side of either and enjoy a strong partner; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Similar to a loyal Bull, the reliable Heracross, both in its regular and Super Form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the creature and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will defend their position to the end. What about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unashamed passion for treats. Several previous Pokédex entries note their fondness for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it all, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this total queen. It's impossible to convince me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, offering an constant fountain of gossip to anyone who wish to hear. Just like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's very easy to imagine Super Medicham captivating an entire open area with their stories. This Pokémon's official description also mentions its capacity to predict an opponent's future actions, which seems quite like a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

The Crab is widely considered as the most emotional sign of the astrological wheel, a intense sign famous for frequently getting absorbed in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution charges the creature with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab crash-out. It is also known for its ability to make a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their good time.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was going to select Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is obviously Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s precisely the same vibe a Lion offers to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a performance, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly critical is clearly reflected across this creature's whole evolutionary chain, from a perpetually shocked face like a Virgo when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its upside-down visage that’s just like the emoji a Virgo sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Look at this gentle, sensitive creature, who uses the feelers on its ears to tell how others are feeling by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and striving to keep the harmony, there are many Scales who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s abilities. However, to be frank, it would likely just make them worry even more about others.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a surprisingly tragic origin: Discarded as a doll, it became sentient through pure hatred and swore retribution on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion acquaintances. A Scorpio loves karma and retribution, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are always staging a performance. Being a Archer personally, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly small entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most obnoxious Super Form, its description even mentions how it “poses to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee disasters ahead of time? That gives the identical vibe as a Capricorn, who often consistently believe they’re correct. Interestingly, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the very initial Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Super Form craze.

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 numerous memes about the Archer and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame category matches 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 description says it “draws in negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
