This comeback of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked widespread excitement within the community. From the gradual reveal of newcomers before the game's launch, to trainers forming firm opinions on the full roster of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

Given many of the Super Forms showcasing unique appearances that highlight their traits, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? This list is based on a mix of intuition, common zodiac traits, and personal experience.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly selected for Aries, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. However, a Super Houndoom appears as always furious, which isn't typical of the Aries vibe, known for being playful, cheerful, and impulsive. That's why the Ram far more similar to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when angered. Remain on the friendly side of either and enjoy a strong ally; if you cross them, be ready to get burned.

The Bull – Mega Heracross

Much like a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its regular and Super Form, has aided many players in Legends: Z-A. While dependable, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are also battle-oriented, and – be it their trainer or a strong opinion – will stand up for their position to the end. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unashamed love of treats. Several past official descriptions note their craving for sweet sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it all, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Observe this total royalty. You cannot tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of any gathering, offering an constant stream of chatter to anyone who wish to hear. Much like an captivating, sociable Gemini, it's very simple to envision Super Medicham captivating an entire Wild Zone with their tales. Medicham’s official description also mentions its capacity to predict an enemy’s next moves, which seems quite like a socially-savvy Twins.

The Crab – Mega Manectric

The Crab is widely considered as the most emotional sign of the astrological wheel, a passionate symbol known for often becoming wrapped up in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “huge quantity of energy, but it's excessive for this Pokémon to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Crab emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also known for its capability to create a storm cloud over its own self – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is going to do, it’s spoil their good time.

Leo – Super Starmie

Well, did you think I was going to pick the lion Pokémon for the king of the zodiac? Besides the fact that it would be much too on the nose, Leo is clearly Super Starmie, the star whose gams just went viral for being too glamorous (or terrifying, based on your preference). Fans were captivated from the violet sea star, and that’s precisely the same energy a Leo offers to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Lion to be putting on a performance, albeit for aliens.

Virgo – Super Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is ideally encapsulated in Super Victreebel, the Mega with constant digestive issues. The zodiac symbol known for being endearingly judgmental is clearly mirrored throughout this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a always shocked face like a Maiden when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s similar to the emoji a Virgo sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a strategy.

Libra – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, sensitive creature, who uses the feelers on its auditory organs to tell how people are feeling by their pulse. Consistently compassionate – sometimes to a detriment – and striving to keep the peace, there are many Libras who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s abilities. Though, to be frank, it would probably just make them stress more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Super Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly sad backstory: Discarded as a toy, it became consciousness through pure hatred and vowed revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Super Evolution, “enhances its vindictiveness.” That seems precisely like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpio loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the perfect match with Super Banette.

The Archer – Mega Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a show. As a Archer myself, the number of times I’ve called myself some version of a “playful little jester” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even mentions how it “poses to display its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most fitting Archer counterpart I can imagine.

The Goat – Super Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee calamities in advance? That gives the identical vibe as a Capricorn, who tends to consistently think they’re right. Interestingly, much like a prophetic 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 – Super Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is arguably the non-flame sign that is closest to a flame symbol – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless memes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being chaotic accomplices. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire category fits seamlessly with this, and the Super Form's general daunting aura is also very Water Bearer. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into power.” If that fails to perfectly {encaps
