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 {{status|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.

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|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 [[Mt. 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 2|White 2}}, the Flutes are the only items he gives away.

These are artwork of the Flutes as seen in the [[Pokémon Global Link]].

===={{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}====

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

* 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 linger after battle.

* Due to the Bag having more pockets in Generation IV than in other [[generation]]s, the five Flutes are the only set of similar items that cannot all be placed in the same pocket: 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 Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, giving them three different pocket placements over three generations.
