The return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited widespread enthusiasm across the fandom. Starting with the one-by-one reveal of newcomers before the title's launch, to trainers forming strong views on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's plenty for enthusiasts to look forward to.

With numerous of the Mega Evolutions showcasing unique designs that emphasize their traits, one idea came to mind: What's the best way to link this with zodiac signs? This list is based on a blend of vibes, sign stereotypes, and personal experience.

Aries – Mega Camerupt

To be truthful, Houndoom was nearly chosen for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that inspire the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as always furious, which isn't typical of the Ram's energy, known for being fun, cheerful, and impulsive. This makes the Ram far more akin to Super Camerupt, which only spews lava when provoked. Remain on the friendly side of either and enjoy a powerful partner; if you cross them, be ready to face the consequences.

The Bull – Super Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, both in its regular and Super Form, has aided many trainers in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the creature and a Taurus are still Fighting types, and – whether it's their companion or a strong opinion – will defend their position to the end. What about Mega Heracross that recalls most of my Bull-sign companions, however, is its unabashed passion for treats. Several previous Pokédex entries mention their fondness for sweet tree sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it everything, which is true Bull-sign vibe.

The Twins – Super Medicham

Look at this absolute royalty. You cannot convince me this Pokémon is not the life of any gathering, providing an endless stream of gossip to those who wish to listen. Just like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly simple to imagine Mega Medicham captivating an whole Wild Zone with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its ability to predict an enemy’s future actions, which seems quite similar to a people-smart Gemini.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly regarded as the most sensitive member of the zodiac, a intense sign known for frequently getting absorbed in their feelings. Per the official info, Mega Evolution fills the creature with a “huge amount of energy, but it's too much for this Pokémon to fully manage,” which sounds a lot like a classic Cancer emotional outburst. This Pokémon is also recognized for its ability to make a storm cloud over its very head – and if there’s one thing a Cancer is going to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Mega Starmie

Well, did you assume I was going 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 obviously Super Starmie, the diva whose gams just became an internet sensation for being too glamorous (or terrifying, depending on your preference). Players couldn’t look away from the purple starfish, and that’s exactly the identical energy a Leo brings to the table. Starmie is also rumored to be broadcasting signals from its red core out into the cosmos, and it’s typical of a Leo to be putting on a performance, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Maiden is perfectly represented in Mega Victreebel, the Super Form with perpetual digestive issues. The sign famous for being charmingly judgmental is strongly reflected throughout this creature's whole lineage, from a perpetually surprised face like a Maiden when you tell them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s just like the symbol a Virgo sends to the group chat when everyone says they want to “go with the flow” rather than creating a plan.

Libra – Super Audino

Look at this gentle, empathetic being, who uses the feelers on its ears to tell how people are emotionally by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – occasionally to a detriment – and trying to keep 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 stress even more about everyone else.

Scorpio – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly tragic backstory: Discarded as a doll, it gained consciousness through sheer resentment and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the Pokédex, Mega Evolution, “increases its spitefulness.” That seems exactly like many discussions I’ve had with my intense Scorpio friends. A Scorpio loves karma and comeuppance, making them the perfect pair with Mega Banette.

Sagittarius – Mega Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly staging a performance. Being a Archer personally, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some variation of a “silly small entertainer” is innumerable. The showiest and most obnoxious Mega Evolution, its description even mentions how it “flexes to show off its strength.” I would do the exact same thing if I had a Mega evolved form, making Super Hawlucha the most apt Archer match I can think of.

Capricorn – Super Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to foresee calamities in advance? That gives the identical energy as a Goat, who often always believe they’re correct. The thing is, much like a prophetic Super Absol, they often are. It’s also the absolute first Mega Evolution that players meet in Legends: Z-A – just like a Goat to get in on the ground floor of the Super Form craze.

The Water Bearer – Super Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is possibly the non-fire placement that is closest to a fire sign – its counterpart is the Lion, and there are countless memes about the Archer and Aquarius being chaotic partners in crime. Super Chandelure's double Spirit/Flame category fits perfectly with this, and the Super Form's overall intimidating presence is also very Water Bearer. If you hadn't yet convinced, the Mega’s description says it “absorbs hatred and converts it into strength.” If that doesn’t exactly {encaps
