The '''Azure Flute''' (Japanese: '''てんかいのふえ''' ''Azure Flute'') is one of the four [[Key item|key]] [[event item]]s to be received through a [[Nintendo]] {{pkmn2|event}} in the [[Sinnoh]]-based games (the others being the {{Gdis|Secret Key|IV}}, [[Member Card]], and [[Oak's Letter]]) and the only one to not be distributed. It is required to access the [[Hall of Origin]], where {{p|Arceus}} resides in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

The '''Azure Flute''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|てんかいのふえ|Tenkai no Fue}}''' ''Heaven Flute'') is one of the four [[Event item|event-exclusive]] [[Key Item]]s meant to be received through a [[Nintendo]] {{pkmn2|event}} in the [[Sinnoh]]-based games (the others being the {{si|Secret Key}}, [[Member Card]], and [[Oak's Letter]]) and the only one to not be distributed. It is required to access the [[Hall of Origin]], where {{p|Arceus}} resides in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

After beating the [[Elite Four]] and obtaining the [[National Dex]], when the {{player}} reaches the [[Spear Pillar]], at the top of [[Mt. Coronet]], {{ga|Lucas|he}} or {{ga|Dawn|she}} may choose to use the Azure Flute; this will play the first few notes of the game's introductory cutscene and trigger a large staircase that leads to the Hall of Origin. After it is used and once Arceus is caught, the Azure Flute will no longer trigger the entrance to the Hall of Origin when played at the Spear Pillar and the message "''The Azure Flute echoed hollowly...''" will appear. Should the player knock out Arceus, then the Azure Flute can be used to summon Arceus again.
===Effect===
For the Arceus event, [[Mystery Gift]] must be used to receive a [[Wonder Card]] with the Azure Flute, which should then be retrieved from the [[Poké Mart]] deliveryman (as modifying the [[Save|save file]] to directly add the Azure Flute to the [[Bag]] will not affect the flag responsible for activating the event). The player must also enter the [[Hall of Fame]] and obtain the [[National Pokédex]] to be able to use the Azure Flute.


[[Junichi Masuda]] revealed in an [https://archive.today/dFokT interview] with Nintendo World Report in 2013 that the Azure Flute was thought to be too confusing for {{player}}s to use, leading to the decision to not distribute it.
When the player reaches the [[Spear Pillar]] at the top of [[Mt. Coronet]] and steps one tile north from the entrance, {{ga|Lucas|he}} or {{ga|Dawn|she}} will be prompted to use the flute, which will play a unique and eerie tune and reload the Spear Pillar map with a steep staircase that leads to the Hall of Origin. After it is used and once Arceus is caught, the Azure Flute will no longer trigger the entrance to the Hall of Origin when played at the Spear Pillar and the message "''The Azure Flute echoed hollowly...''" will appear. Should the player knock out Arceus, then the Azure Flute can be used to summon Arceus again.

===Distribution===
As the Azure Flute was never distributed, it can only be obtained with the use of [[cheating]].

Despite the Azure Flute never having been distributed, the [[Wonder Card]] text for the {{DL|List of American region serial code event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI|Arceus}} distributed during Pokémon's {{pkmn|20th Anniversary}} made reference to it.
