===Effect===
[[File:PokéFluteSnorlax.png|thumb|The Poké Flute being used in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
====Outside of battle====
The Poké Flute is used to wake up {{status|Sleep|sleeping}} Pokémon in the overworld.
* 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 [[Pikachu (Yellow)|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.

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 {{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====
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.

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.

[[File:Snap Poké Flute.png|thumb|Poké Flute in Snap]]

===Pokémon Snap===
In {{g|Snap}}, [[Professor Oak]] will reward the {{player}} with a Poké Flute after obtaining a total score of 125,000 points or higher for all the photos in the [[Pokémon Report]].

Playing the Poké Flute will wake up sleeping Pokémon and may make them dance or pose for the player. There are three songs that can be played by the Poké Flute in this game, and Pokémon respond differently to each.

In [[New Pokémon Snap]], the Poké Flute is replaced by a similar melody function.

===Pokémon Trading Card Game series===
The {{OBP|Pokémon Flute|Base Set 86}} card is available in {{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} and [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Poké Flute XY018.png|250px|thumb|A Poké Flute in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Main series===
A Poké Flute belonging to a [[hippie]] appeared in ''[[EP041|Wake Up Snorlax!]]''. He uses it to perform musical numbers in exchange for food. He also used it to wake up a Snorlax that turned out to be his Pokémon and was believed to be blocking a river.

Another Poké Flute appeared in ''[[XY018|Awakening the Sleeping Giant!]]'', under the ownership of [[Lord Shabboneau]]. It is used in an annual festival involving a Snorlax living in the area near [[Camphrier Town]], but, unfortunately, it had been taken away by the egocentric [[Princess Allie]] from the [[Parfum Palace]]. After a series of many-sided events, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} managed to get the Flute back and return it to Lord Shabboneau so he could start the festival. {{TRT}}, believing the Flute could actually control Snorlax, tried to steal it in order to gather themselves an army of Sleeping Pokémon, but the Flute was soon recovered, allowing the festival to be successfully completed.

A Poké Flute appeared in [[Supereffective Type]], a Japanese ending song for ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Poké Flute PO.png|thumb|250px|The Poké Flute in Pokémon Origins]]
The Poké Flute was seen two times, although briefly, in [[Pokémon Origins]]. It first appeared close to the end of ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', where Mr. Fuji gave it to {{OBP|Red|Origins}} as a thanks for saving him and the Pokémon Tower from Team Rocket. Red later used the Flute in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'' to wake up a Snorlax, which he then presumably {{pkmn2|caught}}.

===POKÉTOON===
A Poké Flute appeared in ''[[PT05|The Slugma-Powered Home]]'' on a fireplace at {{OBP|Anna|POKÉTOON}}'s grandparents' house.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
A Poké Flute owned by {{adv|Red}} appeared in ''[[PS022|A Hollow Victreebel]]''. It was used to help him escape from a group of {{p|Victreebel}} that had been about to eat him at the {{safari|Kanto}}.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
A Poké Flute appeared in ''[[PM045|Get Snorlax!!]]''.

===Pokémon Zensho===

==In the TCG==
[[File:Pokémon Flute Base 86.jpg|200px|thumb|Pokémon Flute]]
{{main|Pokémon Flute (Base Set 86)}}
'''Pokémon Flute''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Trainer card}} at the beginning of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. First released in the initial Japanese {{TCG|Expansion Pack}}, it later debuted in English in the {{TCG|Base Set}}, with both prints featuring an illustration by [[Keiji Kinebuchi]]. Pokémon Flute allows the player to choose a {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}} from their opponent's discard pile and add it to their opponent's {{TCG|Bench}}.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* According to a {{tc|Gentleman}} in [[Celadon City]]'s [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Generation I]], only Pokémon can hear the flute's sound.
* In [[Generation]]s {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}, as well as {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the [[Blue Flute]] can be used to wake a sleeping Pokémon without being consumed, like the Poké Flute's in battle effect.
