This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread enthusiasm within the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of fresh additions ahead of the title's launch, to players forming firm opinions on the entire lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to look forward to.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions showcasing distinctive designs that highlight their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? The following is based on a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and individual observations.

Aries – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was almost selected for Aries, as both are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the most fear. However, a Super Houndoom comes across as always angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being fun, cheerful, and spontaneous. That's why the Ram much more akin to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when angered. Remain on the friendly side of either and enjoy a strong ally; should you offend them, be ready to face the consequences.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the reliable Heracross, whether in its regular and Mega form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, each the creature and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a firm belief – will defend their side unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that reminds me most of my Bull-sign companions, though, is its unashamed love of snacks. Several past official descriptions mention their fondness for tasty sap and how it uses its horn to collect it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

Gemini – Mega Medicham

Observe this total royalty. It's impossible to convince me this creature is not the soul of any gathering, offering an constant stream of gossip to anyone who wants to listen. Much like an captivating, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly easy to imagine Super Medicham captivating an whole open area with their stories. Medicham’s Pokédex entry also states its ability to predict an opponent's next moves, which seems very like a people-smart Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a intense sign known for frequently getting absorbed in their feelings. According to the official info, Mega Evolution charges the creature with a “huge quantity of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully control,” which sounds a lot like a classic Crab emotional outburst. It is also recognized for its ability to make a thundercloud over its very self – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s rain on their good time.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be much too obvious, Leo is obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose legs just became an internet sensation for being extremely glamorous (or horrifying, depending on your taste). Fans were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Lion offers to the scene. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting signals from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Lion to be putting on a show, even if for aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is perfectly encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly judgmental is strongly mirrored throughout this creature's entire lineage, from a always surprised face like a Virgo when you tell them you don’t have a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s similar to the symbol a Maiden posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of making a plan.

The Scales – Mega Audino

Observe this gentle, empathetic being, who employs the sensors on its auditory organs to detect how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Always empathetic – occasionally to a fault – and trying to maintain the peace, there are many Scales who would likely appreciate Super Audino's skills. Though, to be frank, it would likely just make them worry even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Super Banette

Banette is a creature with a unexpectedly tragic origin: Abandoned as a toy, it gained sentient through pure hatred and swore retribution on its former owner. According to the Pokédex, Super Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like several conversations I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Each Mega Hawlucha and Archers are constantly putting on a show. Being a Archer personally, the amount of times I’ve called myself some variation of a “playful little jester” is countless. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Super Form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Super Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict calamities ahead of time? That gives the exact same energy as a Goat, who tends to always believe they’re correct. The thing is, much like a visionary Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the very initial Super Form that trainers encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the beginning of the Super Form craze.

Aquarius – Super Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is arguably the non-flame sign that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous memes about the Archer and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Super Chandelure's dual Spirit/Flame category matches perfectly with this, and the Mega’s general intimidating presence is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already convinced, the Mega’s Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into power.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
