:''This article is about the [[Generation III]] colored flutes. For one of the [[key item]]s, see [[Poké Flute]] or [[Azure Flute]].''

A '''flute''' is a type of item from the [[Pokémon games]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effects==
Each of the colored flutes has a different effect, similar to consumables purchased at a [[Poké Mart]], but flutes are not consumed when used. The Red, Yellow, and Blue Flutes, cure {{status|Attract|Attraction}}, {{status|Confusion}}, and {{status|Sleep}}, respectively.  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.

==Location==
===In [[Generation I]] and [[Pokémon Snap]]===
The [[Poké Flute]], while not a colored flute, is a [[key item]] which works similarly to the Blue Flute, acting like a reusable [[Awakening]].

===In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}===
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 on [[Route 113]].  Then, ash must be collected by walking through the [[Volcanic ash|ash-covered grass]] on the route. Once the player has enough ash, he/she can exchange it for one of the flutes.

===In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}===
[[Image:PokeFlute.png|thumb|right]]
In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, only the Yellow Flute is obtainable without trading a Pokémon over from [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], or [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]] holding one.  The Yellow Flute can be purchased for 1600 coins at the Prize Corner of the [[Rocket Game Corner]].  The [[Poké Flute]], which acts like a Blue Flute, also exists in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.

===In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]===

The Yellow Flute can be found in an item box inside the [[S.S. Libra]].

===Generation IV===
The colored flutes cannot be obtained in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} except by making a Pokémon hold them in [[Generation III]] and transferring them over via [[Pal Park]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, the player will automatically receive a Black Flute from [[Looker]] when examining the broken cave painting on the third floor of [[Mt. Coronet]] before chasing Team Galactic. The White Flute will be given by the girl that owns the [[Suite Key]]. The Blue Flute is no longer usable outside of battle.

==Trivia==
* The flutes, along with the [[Poké Flute]], are the only items that can be used in-battle and can be used multiple times.
* In [[Generation III]] games, the Blue Flute can be used outside of battle, but it cannot be used this way in [[Generation IV]] games, as it is classified as a [[Battle item]].
