Effect
Outside of battle
The Poké Flute is used to wake up sleeping Pokémon in the overworld.
- In the Generation I core series games, Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, it is used to wake the two Snorlax sleeping on Route 12 and Route 16. This initiates a battle with the wild Snorlax.
- In Pokémon Yellow, the Poké Flute can be used to wake up 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 Black Belt, who uses it to wake up a Snorlax that is blocking Route 7. 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 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.

In the anime
Main series
A Poké Flute belonging to a hippie appeared in 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 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 his friends managed to get the Flute back and return it to Lord Shabboneau so he could start the festival. Team Rocket, 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.
