The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement across the fandom. From the one-by-one reveal of newcomers before the game's release, to players forming strong views on the entire roster of Mega Evolutions, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

With numerous of the Super Forms boasting unique designs that emphasize their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? This list is inspired by a blend of vibes, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

The Ram – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was almost selected for this fire sign, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that inspire the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as constantly angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why Aries much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Stay on the friendly side of either and enjoy a powerful partner; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its standard and Super Form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the creature and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their companion or a firm belief – will stand up for their side to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed love of snacks. Several previous Pokédex entries note their fondness for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to hoard it all, which is pure Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this absolute royalty. It's impossible to convince me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, providing an constant fountain of chatter to those who wish to listen. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's very easy to imagine Super Medicham mesmerizing an whole Wild Zone with their stories. Medicham’s official description also states its ability to predict an enemy’s future actions, which seems very similar to a people-smart Twins.

The Crab – Super Manectric

The Crab is widely regarded as the most emotional sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate sign known for often getting wrapped up in their emotions. According to the official info, Mega Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to make a storm cloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

Leo – Super Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was going to select Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just went viral for being extremely glamorous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Leo offers to the table. This Pokémon is also said to be transmitting signals from its center out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a performance, albeit for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being endearingly critical is strongly reflected across this creature's entire lineage, from a always shocked face like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a retirement plan, to its upside-down face that’s just like the emoji a Virgo posts to the chatroom when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic being, who employs the sensors on its ears to detect how people are feeling by their pulse. Always empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and trying to maintain the harmony, there are many Scales who would likely appreciate Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, to be frank, it would probably just cause them to worry more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly sad backstory: Discarded as a toy, it gained sentient through pure resentment and vowed retribution on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpio friends. A Scorpion adores karma and comeuppance, making them the ideal pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a performance. As a Sagittarius personally, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful little jester” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer match I can think of.

The Goat – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the power to foresee calamities ahead of time? That gives the exact same vibe as a Capricorn, who often consistently think they’re right. The thing is, similar to a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Mega Evolution that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is arguably the non-fire sign that is most like a fire sign – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous memes about the Archer and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall daunting aura is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
