A '''Poké Flute''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンのふえ''' ''Pokémon Flute'') is a [[key item]] from the [[Pokémon games]]. It looks like a yellow {{wp|recorder}} with a [[Poké Ball]] near the bottom.

In the [[Generation I]] Pokémon games and their [[Generation III]] remakes, this item is given to the player as thanks by [[Mr. Fuji]] after they rescue him from [[Team Rocket]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]]. In [[Pokémon X and Y]], the Poké Flute is obtained from Mr. Butler at the [[Parfum Palace]] to be delivered to its original owner. 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 {{OBP|Pokémon Report|Pokémon Snap}}.

==Usage==

===In the field===

A Poké Flute's single purpose in the field is to wake up {{status|Sleep|sleeping}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, specifically two {{p|Snorlax}} sleeping on {{rt|12|Kanto}} and {{rt|16|Kanto}}. 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 {{game|Yellow}}, it can also wake up {{ga|Red's Pikachu|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 {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, 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 {{tc|Black Belt}}, who will use it to wake up a Snorlax that is blocking {{rt|7|Kalos}}. Unlike in the Generation I games and their remakes, the Poké Flute isn't a keepable item, and will only be in the player's possession while it's being delivered.

===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.

This purpose is fulfilled by the {{DL|Flute|Blue Flute}} in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, their remakes {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, and all [[Generation IV]] main series games.

In [[Pokémon Snap]], playing the Poké Flute will wake up sleeping Pokémon and may make them dance or pose for the player. There are three songs which the Poké Flute can play in this game, and Pokémon respond differently to each.

===In the main series===

A Poké Flute was used by the [[hippie]] in ''[[EP041|Wake Up Snorlax!]]''. He performed concerts with it in exchange for food. Later, he used it to help restart the flow of a river by waking up a Snorlax that was blocking the 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, 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.

===In Pokémon Origins===

[[File:Poké Flute PO.png|thumb|200px|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 presumably {{pkmn2|caught}}.
