This return of Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has ignited immense enthusiasm within the fandom. From the one-by-one unveiling of newcomers before the game's launch, to players forming strong opinions on the entire lineup of new Megas, there's a lot for enthusiasts to anticipate.

Given numerous of the Mega Evolutions boasting unique designs that emphasize their traits, one idea naturally: 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 – Mega Camerupt

Honestly, Houndoom was nearly selected for this fire sign, as they are the Super Form and zodiac symbol that evoke the greatest apprehension. But, a Super Houndoom comes across as always angry, which doesn't match the Aries vibe, known for being fun, light-hearted, and impulsive. That's why Aries much more similar to Mega Camerupt, which only erupts when provoked. Remain on the good side of both and benefit from a powerful ally; if you cross them, prepare to get burned.

Taurus – Mega Heracross

Similar to a devoted Taurus, the steadfast Heracross species, whether in its standard and Super Form, has assisted numerous players in Legends: Z-A. Though trustworthy, both the Pokémon and a Bull are also Fighting types, and – be it their companion or a strong opinion – will stand up for their side unwaveringly. The thing about Super Heracross that recalls most of my Taurus friends, however, is its unabashed love of snacks. Several past Pokédex entries mention their craving for tasty tree sap and how it employs its appendage to collect it everything, which is pure Taurus energy.

The Twins – Mega Medicham

Observe this absolute queen. It's impossible to tell me this Pokémon is not the soul of every party, offering an constant stream of chatter to those who wish to hear. Much like an enrapturing, gregarious Twins, it's incredibly simple to envision Mega Medicham captivating an whole open area with their stories. This Pokémon's Pokédex entry also mentions its capacity to predict an enemy’s future actions, which seems quite similar to a people-smart Twins.

Cancer – Mega Manectric

Cancer is commonly considered as the most sensitive sign of the astrological wheel, a intense symbol famous for often getting absorbed in their emotions. According to the official info, Super Evolution fills the Pokémon with a “tremendous quantity of electricity, but it's excessive for Manectric to completely control,” which sounds a lot like a typical Cancer crash-out. It is also known for its ability to create a thundercloud over its own head – and if there’s a single trait a Crab is likely to do, it’s spoil their own parade.

The Lion – Super Starmie

Oh, did you think I was going to pick Pyroar for the king of the zodiac? Aside from the reality that it would be much too obvious, The Lion is clearly Mega Starmie, the star whose legs just became an internet sensation for being too fabulous (or terrifying, based on your taste). Players couldn’t look away from the purple sea star, and that’s exactly the same energy a Leo brings to the table. This Pokémon is also rumored to be transmitting radio waves from its center out into space, and it’s just like a Leo to be putting on a show, even if for aliens.

The Maiden – Mega Victreebel

The ever-prepared and perpetually-anxious Virgo is ideally represented in Super Victreebel, the Super Form with constant acid reflux. The zodiac symbol famous for being charmingly judgmental is clearly reflected throughout this creature's entire evolutionary chain, from a always surprised face like a Maiden when you inform them you lack a 401(k), to its inverted visage that’s similar to the symbol a Virgo posts to the chatroom when everyone says they want to “be spontaneous” rather than making a strategy.

The Scales – Super Audino

Look at this sweet, empathetic being, who uses the feelers on its ears to detect how people are feeling by their heartbeat. Consistently empathetic – sometimes to a fault – and striving to keep the peace, there are many Scales who would probably appreciate Super Audino's abilities. Though, to be frank, it would likely just make them worry even more about everyone else.

The Scorpion – Mega Banette

This Ghost-type is a creature with a surprisingly sad backstory: Discarded as a toy, it gained consciousness through pure hatred and swore retribution on its previous caretaker. Per the official info, Mega Evolution, “increases its vindictiveness.” That sounds precisely like several discussions I’ve had with my scary Scorpio acquaintances. A Scorpio adores cosmic justice and retribution, making them the perfect pair with Super Banette.

The Archer – Super Hawlucha

Each Super Hawlucha and Sagittarians are constantly putting on a show. Being a Archer myself, the number of occasions I’ve referred to myself some version of a “silly little entertainer” is innumerable. The most flamboyant and most attention-seeking Super Form, its description even notes how it “flexes to show off its power.” I would do the very same thing if I had some kind of Mega evolved form, making Mega Hawlucha the most fitting Sagittarius match I can imagine.

The Goat – Mega Absol

Did you know that a Mega Absol has the ability to predict calamities ahead of time? That gives the identical vibe as a Goat, who tends to always think they’re right. The thing is, similar to a visionary Super Absol, they frequently are. It’s also the absolute initial Mega Evolution that players encounter in Legends: Z-A – just like a Capricorn to join the ground floor of the Mega trend.

Aquarius – Mega Chandelure

Detached element Aquarius is arguably the non-fire sign that is most like a fire sign – its counterpart is Leo, and there are numerous jokes about Sagittarius and Aquarius being unpredictable partners in crime. Mega Chandelure’s dual Ghost/Fire typing fits seamlessly with this, and the Mega’s general daunting presence is also very Aquarius. If you weren’t already persuaded, the Super Form's Pokédex entry says it “absorbs negative energy and converts it into strength.” If that fails to exactly {encaps
