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. From [[Generation VII]] onwards, they do not appear in the {{pkmn|games}}.


=Effects=
==List of Flutes==
Although each of the colored flutes has a different effect, they have one thing in common: they don't go away after they are used. The Red, Yellow, and Blue Flutes, heal, respectively, [[Status ailment#Attract|Attraction]], [[Status ailment#Confusion|Confusion]], and [[Status ailment#Sleep|Sleep]]. The Black Flute makes [[wild Pokémon]] encounters less common, while the White Flute makes [[wild Pokémon]] encounters more common. The Black Flute eventually loses effectiveness.

To obtain the flutes in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, 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.

==In the games==
In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, only one flute, the Yellow Flute, is obtainable without trading a Pokémon over from Pokémon [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby]], [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Sapphire]] and [[Pokémon Emerald|Emerald]] versions holding one. Means of obtaining the Yellow Flute are that the player must have at least 1600 coins in their [[Coin Case]] and then the player must go to the Prize Corner of the [[Rocket Game Corner]] and trade their 1600 Coins for a Yellow Flute with the woman on the left.

In [[Generation III|Generations III]] to {{gen|IV}} and {{g|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.
 
In [[Generation V]] and {{g|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.

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 {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and in [[Orre]], the Flutes are mostly only obtainable via [[trade]]; only the Yellow Flute is obtainable otherwise, and not in {{g|Colosseum}}.

In {{game2|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 {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, all five Flutes can be found in different locations across [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]].

In the games

Mechanics

In Generations III to IV and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Flutes, when used by the player, produce a sound that has an effect on Pokémon. They are not consumed upon use. The Blue, Yellow, and Red Flutes can be used to cure one of the player's Pokémon of sleep, confusion, or infatuation, respectively. In Generation III, they can be used both in and out of 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 levels 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 Orre Region." will be displayed.

In Generation V and Pokémon X and Y, the Flutes cannot be used and are valuable items. In Generation V, they can be sold to the billionaire maniac in Undella Town for a higher-than-usual price.

Acquisition

In Hoenn, the player can collect volcanic ash in the Soot Sack and have it turned into Flutes at the Glass Workshop on Route 113. Each Flute costs a different amount of ash to make.

In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen and in Orre, the Flutes are mostly only obtainable via trade; only the Yellow Flute is obtainable otherwise, and not in Pokémon Colosseum. In FireRed and LeafGreen, it can be purchased from the Rocket Game Corner for 1,600C. In Pokémon XD, it can be found on the S.S. Libra.

In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and 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 Pokémon HeartGold and 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 Route 13, who gives away one item per day. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, the Flutes are the only items that he gives away.

In Kalos, the Flutes are only obtainable via trade.
