This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has sparked immense excitement across the fandom. From the gradual unveiling of newcomers before the title's launch, to players developing firm views on the full lineup of Mega Evolutions, there's a lot for fans to anticipate.

Given many of the Super Forms showcasing distinctive appearances that highlight their personalities, one thought came to mind: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? This list is based on a blend of intuition, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

The Ram – Super Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly selected for Aries, as they are the Mega Pokémon and zodiac symbol that inspire the most fear. But, a Mega Houndoom appears as constantly furious, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, renowned for being playful, light-hearted, and spontaneous. That's why Aries far more similar to Mega Camerupt, which solely 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 – Super Heracross

Much like a devoted Bull, the steadfast Heracross, whether in its regular and Super Form, has aided numerous trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though dependable, both the Pokémon and a Taurus are still battle-oriented, and – whether it's their trainer or a firm belief – will defend their position unwaveringly. The thing about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed love of treats. Several previous Pokédex entries note their craving for sweet sap and how it uses its horn to hoard it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this absolute queen. It's impossible to tell me this creature is not the life of any gathering, offering an endless stream of chatter to those who wish to hear. Much like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's very easy to imagine Super Medicham captivating an whole open area with their tales. Medicham’s official description also states its capacity to predict an opponent's next moves, which sounds quite similar to a socially-savvy Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is widely regarded as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a intense symbol famous for often getting absorbed in their feelings. Per the official info, Super Evolution fills the creature with a “tremendous amount of electricity, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which seems a lot like a classic Cancer crash-out. This Pokémon is also recognized for its capability to create a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s a single trait a Cancer is going to do, it’s rain on their own parade.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Oh, did you think I was planning to pick the lion Pokémon for the lion of the zodiac? Besides the reality that it would be much too on the nose, The Lion is obviously Mega Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being extremely glamorous (or horrifying, based on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the violet sea star, and that’s exactly the same vibe a Lion brings to the table. Starmie is also rumored to be broadcasting radio waves from its center out into the cosmos, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a show, even if for extraterrestrials.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The always-ready and constantly-worried Maiden is ideally encapsulated in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign famous for being charmingly critical is clearly mirrored throughout this Pokémon’s whole lineage, from a always surprised face like a Virgo when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its upside-down face that’s just like the emoji a Virgo sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” instead of creating a plan.

The Scales – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic creature, who employs the feelers on its auditory organs to detect how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Always compassionate – occasionally to a fault – and striving to maintain the peace, there are numerous Scales who would probably benefit from Mega Audino’s skills. However, to be frank, it would probably just make them worry more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a Pokémon with a unexpectedly sad backstory: Abandoned as a doll, it became sentient through sheer resentment and swore revenge on its previous caretaker. According to the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That sounds exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpion friends. A Scorpion loves cosmic justice and retribution, making them the ideal match with Super Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Both Mega Hawlucha and Archers are always staging a performance. Being a Archer personally, the amount of occasions I’ve called myself some variation of a “silly little jester” is countless. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its Pokédex entry even notes how it “poses to display its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer counterpart I can think of.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Were you aware that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee calamities ahead of time? That exudes the identical energy as a Goat, who often consistently think they’re correct. Interestingly, similar to a visionary 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 get in on the ground floor of the Mega trend.

The Water Bearer – Mega Chandelure

Detached air sign Aquarius is possibly the non-fire placement that is most like a flame symbol – its sister sign is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about the Archer and Water Bearer being chaotic partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s dual Spirit/Flame typing matches seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s overall intimidating presence is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Super Form's description says it “absorbs negative energy and transforms it into strength.” If that doesn’t perfectly {encaps
