Is there any logic behind flygon being the "spirit Pokemon"?

FlygonMystic Pokémon精神ポケモン(spirit Pokemon)

so apparently, flygon is known as the “mystic Pokemon” and even worse: “spirit Pokemon” in japanse. flygon looks like a cozy bug, not much of a spirit or ghost. can someone give me logic behind this?very mystic

Pleaselog inorregisterto add a comment.

Its Pokedex entries explain it (more or less).

Sapphire>Flygon whips up a sandstorm by flapping its wings. The wings create a series of notes that sound like singing. Because the “singing” is the only thing that can be heard in a sandstorm, this Pokémon is said to be the desert spirit.

B2W2>Known as “The Desert Spirit,” this Pokémon hides in the sandstorms it causes by beating its wings.

Applying some abductive reasoning, most people in the Pokeverse probably didn’t see Flygon very often because it hid itself in sandstorms, meaning they most likely only saw a silhouette, or not even that, before the Flygon disappeared or they were forced away by the sandstorm. Hence, Flygon gains a mystic quality through its elusiveness.

Yes there is logic behind it.

With its wings, it kicks up sandstorms to hide itself. Its wings make a “singing” sound when they are flapped, earning Flygon the name “The Desert Spirit”. It lives in the desert.

Also have a look at it’s Pokédex entries:

Flygon is nicknamed “the elemental spirit of the desert.” Because its flapping wings whip up a cloud of sand, this Pokémon is always enveloped in a sandstorm while flying.
