The comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement across the community. Starting with the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers before the game's launch, to trainers forming firm views on the full roster of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to look forward to.

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

Aries – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as both are the Mega Pokémon and astrological sign that inspire the most fear. However, a Mega Houndoom comes across as always angry, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, renowned for being playful, cheerful, and spontaneous. This makes Aries far more similar to Super Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of both and enjoy a powerful ally; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its standard and Mega 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 side to the end. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed passion for snacks. Several past official descriptions mention their fondness for tasty sap and how it uses its appendage to collect it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Look at this total queen. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the life of every party, providing an endless fountain of gossip to anyone who wish to listen. Just like an enrapturing, sociable Gemini, it's very simple to envision Mega Medicham captivating an entire open area with their stories. Medicham’s official description also states its capacity to foresee an enemy’s future actions, which sounds quite like a people-smart Gemini.

Cancer – Super Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a intense sign known for frequently becoming absorbed in their emotions. Per the official info, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “huge amount of energy, but it's too much for Manectric to completely manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to make a storm cloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to pick Pyroar for the lion of the zodiac? Aside from the fact that it would be far too on the nose, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the star whose legs just went viral for being too glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your preference). Fans couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the same energy a Lion brings to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into space, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a show, albeit for extraterrestrials.

Virgo – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and constantly-worried Virgo is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Mega with perpetual acid reflux. The sign known for being endearingly judgmental is strongly reflected throughout this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a always shocked expression like a Virgo when you inform 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 everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a plan.

The Scales – Super Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic creature, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how people are emotionally by their pulse. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a detriment – and trying to maintain the peace, there are numerous Libras who would likely benefit from Super Audino's skills. However, to be frank, it would likely just cause them to worry even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

Banette is a creature with a surprisingly sad backstory: Discarded as a toy, it gained sentient through sheer resentment and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpio friends. A Scorpion adores cosmic justice and comeuppance, making them the perfect match with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a show. As a Sagittarius myself, the amount of times I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly little jester” is innumerable. The showiest and most obnoxious Super Form, its Pokédex entry even mentions how it “flexes to display its strength.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can imagine.

Capricorn – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict disasters ahead of time? That exudes the exact same energy as a Capricorn, who tends to always believe they’re correct. Interestingly, much like a visionary Mega Absol, they often are. It’s also the very first Super Form that players meet in Legends: Z-A – typical of a Goat to join the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Water Bearer is possibly the non-fire placement that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless jokes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame category matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating presence is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet persuaded, the Mega’s description says it “draws in hatred and converts it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
