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}}.


A '''flute''' (Japanese: '''ビードロ''' ''vidro'') is a hand-blown glass instrument that produces sound when it is blown into. Originating in {{wp|Portugal}}, these flutes are a common decoration in Japan, and in the Pokémon world have various effects depending on their color.

In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, [[volcanic ash]] can be collected in the [[Soot Sack]] by walking through the ash-covered grass on {{rt|113|Hoenn}} and in the [[Jagged Pass]]. This ash can be used by a man on Route 113 to create these flutes as well as exclusive furniture for a player's [[secret base]], with different items requiring different amounts of ash.
==In the games==
===Mechanics===
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 flutes can be reused indefinitely, meaning that a player will only ever need to obtain one of each, though multiple copies can be obtained for trading to other games when [[held item|held by a Pokémon]].
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.


==List of Flutes==
===Acquisition===
{{Item
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.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* These items are the only normal items that can be used multiple times without having multiple copies in the [[bag]].
* The Flutes' Japanese name, ''vidro'', refers to a specific type of flute that originated in {{wp|Germany}}. Vidro are a common decoration in Japan.
* Due to the bag having more pockets in [[Generation IV]] than in [[Generation III]], 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 Red, Blue, and Yellow Flutes are in the battle items pocket.
* 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.
** This causes an interesting oddity: Whereas in Generation III, the Blue Flute could be used both inside and outside of battle to awaken a sleeping Pokémon, due to its Generation IV placement, it cannot be used outside battle at all. While the Red and Yellow Flutes could be selected for use outside of battle in Generation III, they remove effects on a Pokémon which it automatically recovers from as soon as it leaves the battlefield anyway, giving them no out-of-battle purpose whatsoever.
* 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 V, the battle items pocket and items pocket were merged, thus reuniting the items.
* 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.
