In the field

A Poké Flute's single purpose in the field is to wake up sleeping Pokémon, specifically two Snorlax sleeping on Route 12 and Route 16. Doing this is the only way to progress southward in the game, since these Pokémon are blocking the routes, as well as the only way to battle a wild Snorlax. In Pokémon Yellow, it can also wake up the player's Pikachu. If used outside of battle, it will play a "catchy tune".

In the Generation II Pokémon games as well as their remakes Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, this purpose is fulfilled by the radio function of the Pokégear. An EXPN Card is required for this, and the Poké Flute is on channel 20 in Kanto.

In Pokémon X and Y, the player has to get the Poké Flute from the Parfum Palace and deliver it to its owner, a Black Belt, who will use it to wake up a Snorlax that is blocking Route 7. Unlike in the Generation I games and their remakes, the Poké Flute is a temporary item, and will only be in the player's possession while it is being delivered.

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 count as the player's turn. This can be useful as it consumes no items or PP.

This purpose is fulfilled by the Blue Flute in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, their remakes Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, and all Generation IV main series games.

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.
