A '''flute''' is a type of item from the [[Pokémon games]] that exisisted as [[Poké Flute|an item]], but was introduced as a group of items in [[Generation III]]. Flutes (except the [[Time Flute]]) are not consumed when used.
:''This article relates only to the five colored glass flutes introduced in Generation III. For other flutes mentioned in-game, see [[Poké Flute]], [[Azure Flute]], [[Time Flute]], or [[Eon Flute]]''.


In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, [[volcanic ash]] can be collected in the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Soot Sack}} by walking through the ash-covered grass on {{rt|113}}. The volcanic ash can be turned into flutes or furniture in the glass-blowing shop on {{rt|113}}.
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|Germany}}, these flutes are a common decoration in Japan, and in the Pokémon world, have various effects depending on their color.


Other than the flutes available by glass-blowing, there is also the [[Poké Flute]], [[Azure Flute]] and [[Time Flute]].
In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire|s}}, {{v2|Emerald}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire}}, the player can collect [[volcanic ash]] in the [[Soot Sack]] and have it turned into flutes at the Glass Workshop on {{rt|113|Hoenn}}. In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the player collects ash by walking through the ash-covered grass on Route 113 and in the [[Jagged Pass]], with the amount required for each item measured in steps. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the player collects ash by walking through piles of soot, and the amount collected is measured in grams rather than steps. In addition, ash cannot be collected from the Jagged Pass in these games.
 
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]].
 
If the Black Flute or White Flute is traded into {{g|Colosseum}} or {{XD}}, although [[wild Pokémon]] do not appear except in [[Poké Spot]]s, they still have the "use" option. If the player attempts to use one, the message "This item's use is forbidden in the <sc>[[Orre]] [[Region]]</sc>." will be displayed instead.
 
In [[Generation V]] as well as [[Pokémon X and Y]], these items do not have their function and are simply ordinary [[valuable item]]s. They can be sold to the [[item maniac]] in [[Undella Town]] for a higher-than-usual sell price.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* The flutes, along with the [[Poké Flute]], are the only items that can be used in-battle and can be used multiple times.
* These items are the only normal items that can be used multiple times without having multiple copies in the [[Bag]].
* Due to the bag having more classifications in Generation IV than in Generation III, in fact, the flutes are the only set of items which cannot all be placed into the same pocket: the Black and White Flutes are in the Generation IV bag's items pocket, as all flutes were in Generation III, while the Red, Blue, and Yellow Flutes are in the battle items pocket.
* Due to the [[Bag]] having more pockets in [[Generation IV]] than in Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|VI}}, 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.
** This causes an interesting oddity: In Generation III, the Blue Flute could be used outside of battle to awaken a player's sleeping Pokémon, while the Red and Yellow Flutes, which remove effects that are removed when a Pokémon is switched out from battle, have no effect when used outside of it. In Generation IV, as they are all classed as battle items, they no longer can be used outside of battle.
** Therefore, whereas in Generation III and VI the Blue Flute can 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. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, both the Red and Yellow Flutes can only be used in battle.
** In Generation V and {{pkmn|X and Y}}, the battle items pocket and items pocket were merged, thus reuniting the items. However, their individual uses have been removed, turning them into ordinary [[valuable item]]s.
** The Blue, Red and Yellow Flutes were moved to the medicine pocket in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, meaning that they have been in three different bag pockets over three generations.
* The Yellow Flute is the only flute obtainable in a console game, [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].

Revision as of 03:40, 8 June 2019

This article relates only to the five colored glass flutes introduced in Generation III. For other flutes mentioned in-game, see Poké Flute, Azure Flute, Time Flute, or Eon Flute.

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

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire, the player can collect volcanic ash in the Soot Sack and have it turned into flutes at the Glass Workshop on Route 113. In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the player collects ash by walking through the ash-covered grass on Route 113 and in the Jagged Pass, with the amount required for each item measured in steps. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the player collects ash by walking through piles of soot, and the amount collected is measured in grams rather than steps. In addition, ash cannot be collected from the Jagged Pass in these games.

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 by a Pokémon.

If the Black Flute or White Flute is traded into Pokémon Colosseum or XD, although wild Pokémon do not appear except in Poké Spots, they still have the "use" option. If the player attempts to use one, the message "This item's use is forbidden in the Orre Region." will be displayed instead.

In Generation V as well as Pokémon X and Y, these items do not have their function and are simply ordinary valuable items. They can be sold to the item maniac in Undella Town for a higher-than-usual sell price.

Trivia

  • These items are the only normal items that can be used multiple times without having multiple copies in the Bag.
  • Due to the Bag having more pockets in Generation IV than in Generations III and VI, 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.
    • Therefore, whereas in Generation III and VI the Blue Flute can 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. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, both the Red and Yellow Flutes can only be used in battle.
    • In Generation V and X and Y, the battle items pocket and items pocket were merged, thus reuniting the items. However, their individual uses have been removed, turning them into ordinary valuable items.
    • The Blue, Red and Yellow Flutes were moved to the medicine pocket in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, meaning that they have been in three different bag pockets over three generations.
  • The Yellow Flute is the only flute obtainable in a console game, Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
