====Manual activation====
====Outside of battle====
=====In the field=====
The Poké Flute is used to wake up {{status|Sleep|sleeping}} Pokémon in the overworld.
A Poké Flute's single purpose in the field is to wake up {{status|Sleep|sleeping}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, specifically two {{p|Snorlax}} sleeping on {{rt|12|Kanto}} and {{rt|16|Kanto}}. Doing this is the only way to progress southward in the game, since these Pokémon are blocking the routes, as well as the only way to battle a wild Snorlax. In {{game|Yellow}}, it can also wake up {{ga|Red's Pikachu|the player's Pikachu}}. If used outside of battle, it will play a "catchy tune".
* In the [[Generation I]] core series games, [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen]], [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], it is used to wake the two {{p|Snorlax}} sleeping on {{rt|12|Kanto}} and {{rt|16|Kanto}}. This initiates a battle with the wild Snorlax.
* In {{game|Yellow}}, the Poké Flute can be used to wake up {{ga|Red's Pikachu|the player's Pikachu}}.
* In [[Pokémon X and Y]], the player has to deliver the Poké Flute from the [[Parfum Palace]] to its owner, a {{tc|Black Belt}}, who uses it to wake up a Snorlax that is blocking {{rt|7|Kalos}}. The player does not get to keep the Poké Flute after they deliver it.


In the [[Generation II]] Pokémon games as well as their remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, this purpose is fulfilled by the radio function of the [[Pokégear]]. An [[EXPN Card]] is required for this, and the Poké Flute is on channel 20 in Kanto.
If the player uses the Poké Flute outside of battle, it will play a "catchy tune", but does not wake up any of the player's Pokémon.


In [[Pokémon X and Y]], the player has to get the Poké Flute from the [[Parfum Palace]] and deliver it to its owner, a {{tc|Black Belt}}, who will use it to wake up a Snorlax that is blocking {{rt|7|Kalos}}. Unlike in the Generation I games and their remakes, the Poké Flute is a temporary item, and will only be in the player's possession while it is being delivered.
In {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the [[Pokégear]]'s radio is used to wake up wild Snorlax. If the player has the {{DL|Pokégear|Radio|EXPN Card}}, they can tune in to channel 20 in Kanto to hear the Poké Flute.


=====In battle=====
====In battle====
A Poké Flute is a reusable item that cures all Pokémon in the {{pkmn|battle}} of {{status|Sleep}}, including the opponent's Pokémon. If no Pokémon are asleep, it will have no effect on the battle but still count as the player's turn. This can be useful as it consumes no items or PP.
A Poké Flute is a reusable item that cures all Pokémon in the {{pkmn|battle}} of {{status|sleep}}, including the opponent's Pokémon. If no Pokémon are asleep, it will have no effect on the battle, but still counts as the player's turn.


This purpose is fulfilled by the {{DL|Flute|Blue Flute}} in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, their remakes {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, and all [[Generation IV]] main series games.
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Pokémon with {{a|Soundproof}} cannot be woken up by the Poké Flute. In {{g|X and Y}} and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the Poké Flute cannot be used in battle.

A Poké Flute was used by the [[hippie]] in ''[[EP041|Wake Up Snorlax!]]''. He performed concerts with it in exchange for food. Later, he used it to help restart the flow of a river by waking up a Snorlax that was blocking the river.

Another Poké Flute appeared in ''[[XY018|Awakening the Sleeping Giant!]]'', under the ownership of [[Lord Shabboneau]].

The Poké Flute being used in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen

Outside of battle

The Poké Flute is used to wake up sleeping Pokémon in the overworld.

If the player uses the Poké Flute outside of battle, it will play a "catchy tune", but does not wake up any of the player's Pokémon.

In Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver, the Pokégear's radio is used to wake up wild Snorlax. If the player has the EXPN Card, they can tune in to channel 20 in Kanto to hear the Poké Flute.

In battle

A Poké Flute is a reusable item that cures all Pokémon in the battle of sleep, including the opponent's Pokémon. If no Pokémon are asleep, it will have no effect on the battle, but still counts as the player's turn.

In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Pokémon with Soundproof cannot be woken up by the Poké Flute. In Pokémon X and Y and Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, the Poké Flute cannot be used in battle.
