A '''Flute''' (Japanese: '''ビードロ''' ''vidro'') is a hand-blown glass instrument and a type of [[item]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. There are five types of Flute, each a different color. Starting in [[Generation VII]], they do not appear in the {{pkmn|games}}.


=Obtaining the Flutes=
==List of Flutes==
To obtain the flutes, the player must first receive the [[Soot Sack]] from the man in the glass-blowing shop. Then, a specific number of steps must be taken in the ash-covered grass on the route.  Once the player has enough ash, he/she can exchange it for one of the flutes.

=Effects=
==In the games==
Although each of the flutes has a different effect, they have one thing in common: they don't go away after they are used.
===Mechanics===
The Red, Yellow, and Blue Flutes, heal, respectively, [[Attraction]], [[Confusion]], and [[Sleep]].
In [[Generation III|Generations III]] to {{gen|IV}} and {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Flutes, when used by the {{player}}, produce a sound that has an effect on {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. They are not consumed upon use. The Blue, Yellow, and Red Flutes can be used to cure one of the player's Pokémon of {{status|sleep}}, {{status|confusion}}, or [[infatuation]], respectively. In Generation III, they can be used both in and out of {{pkmn|battle}}. In other games, they can only be used in battle. Outside of [[Orre]], the Black and White Flutes can be used in the overworld to affect [[wild Pokémon]] encounters. They decrease or increase the [[wild Pokémon]] encounter rate, respectively, or, in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, increase or decrease the [[level]]s of wild Pokémon by 1–4, respectively. If the player attempts to use a Black or White Flute in Orre, the message "This item's use is forbidden in the <sc>Orre Region</sc>." will be displayed.
The Black Flute makes [[wild Pokémon]] encounters less common, while the White Flute makes wild Pokémon encounters more common.


=In D/P=
In [[Generation V]] and {{pkmn|X and Y}}, the Flutes cannot be used and are [[valuable item]]s. In Generation V, they can be sold to the {{DL|item maniac|billionaire maniac}} in [[Undella Town]] for a higher-than-usual price.
The flutes cannot be obtained in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] through normal gameplay. However, they can be obtained by having a Pokémon hold one of the flutes in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald and transferring it into Diamond/Pearl through [[Pal Park]].
 
===Acquisition===
In [[Hoenn]], the player can collect [[volcanic ash]] in the [[Soot Sack]] and have it turned into Flutes at the Glass Workshop on {{rt|113|Hoenn}}. Each Flute costs a different amount of ash to make.
 
In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and in [[Orre]], the Flutes are mostly only obtainable via [[trade]]; only the Yellow Flute is obtainable otherwise, and not in {{pkmn|Colosseum}}. In FireRed and LeafGreen, it can be purchased from the [[Celadon Game Corner|Rocket Game Corner]] for 1,600[[Coin (Game Corner)|C]]. In {{XD}}, it can be found on the [[S.S. Libra]].
 
In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the Flutes are mostly only obtainable via trade or [[Pal Park]]; only the Black and White Flutes are obtainable otherwise, and only in Platinum. The Black Flute is received from [[Looker]] at [[Mount Coronet]], and the White Flute can be received from a woman at [[Hotel Grand Lake]] after returning the [[Suite Key]] to her. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, all five Flutes can be found in different locations across [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]].
 
In [[Unova]], the player can randomly receive any of the Flutes from the treasure hunter on {{rt|13|Unova}}, who gives away one item per day. In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, the Flutes are the only items that he gives away.
 
In [[Kalos]], the Flutes are only obtainable via trade.
 
===Artwork===
These are the artwork of the Flutes as seen in the [[Pokémon Global Link]].

==In the anime==

===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
In ''[[PS225|Tanks, but No Tanks, Anorith and Lileep]]'', [[Wallace]] was seen having exchanged the [[volcanic ash]] collected by {{adv|Ruby}} for an unspecified Flute.

==Trivia==
* The Flutes' Japanese name, ''vidro'', refers to a specific type of flute that originated in {{wp|Germany}}. Vidro are a common decoration in Japan.
* These are the only items in the [[Bag]]'s items pocket that can be used by the player directly from the Bag multiple times without being consumed.
* While the Yellow and Red Flutes can be used outside of battle in Generation III, this serves no purpose, as confusion and infatuation do not persist after battle.
* In Generation IV, the Flutes are stored in different item pockets due to their different effects: the Black and White Flutes are in the Items pocket, while the Blue, Yellow, and Red Flutes are in the Battle Items pocket.
** The Blue, Yellow, and Red Flutes are placed in the Medicine pocket in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, giving them three different pocket placements over three generations.
