The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread excitement across the fandom. From the gradual reveal of fresh additions ahead of the game's release, to trainers developing firm views on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for fans to look forward to.

With numerous of the Super Forms boasting distinctive designs that highlight their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to connect this with zodiac signs? This list is based on a blend of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was almost selected for this fire sign, as they are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that evoke the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as constantly furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being fun, light-hearted, and spontaneous. This makes Aries far more similar to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when angered. Remain on the friendly side of both and benefit from a strong ally; if you cross them, prepare to face the consequences.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Similar to a loyal Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its standard and Mega form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the creature and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will stand up for their side to the end. The thing about Super Heracross that reminds me most of my Taurus friends, though, is its unabashed love of treats. Several previous official descriptions mention their craving for tasty sap and how it uses its appendage to hoard it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Look at this absolute queen. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the life of every party, providing an endless fountain of gossip to those who wish to listen. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very easy to imagine Super Medicham captivating an whole open area with their tales. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its ability to foresee an enemy’s next moves, which seems very similar to a people-smart Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

The Crab is commonly regarded as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol famous for frequently becoming wrapped up in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “huge 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 known for its ability to make a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is likely to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you assume I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Fans couldn’t look away from the violet starfish, and that’s exactly the identical vibe a Leo 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 Lion to be putting on a show, even if for aliens.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and perpetually-anxious Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant acid reflux. The sign known for being endearingly critical is strongly mirrored across this Pokémon’s entire evolutionary chain, from a always surprised face like a Maiden when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted face that’s just like the emoji a Maiden sends to the chatroom when all says they want to “go with the flow” rather than making a strategy.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic being, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how people are emotionally by their pulse. Always compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and trying to keep the harmony, there are numerous Scales who would likely benefit from Super Audino's abilities. However, let’s be honest, it would probably just make them worry even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

Banette is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly tragic backstory: Discarded as a toy, it became consciousness through sheer resentment and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpion friends. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Super Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a show. Being a Sagittarius personally, the number of occasions I’ve called myself some version of a “silly small entertainer” is countless. The showiest and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even mentions 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 Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Archer counterpart I can imagine.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Were you aware that a Super Absol has the ability to foresee calamities in advance? That exudes the identical vibe as a Goat, who often always believe they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a visionary Mega Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute initial Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to join the beginning of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-fire placement that is most like a flame symbol – its sister sign is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being unpredictable accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s double Ghost/Fire typing matches perfectly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting aura is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
