The Azure Flute (Japanese: てんかいのふえ Heaven Flute) is a Key Item in the Sinnoh-based games and Pokémon Legends: Arceus, in which it is used to access the Hall of Origin, where Arceus resides.
In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, it is an event-exclusive item that was meant to be received through a Nintendo event, but unlike the Secret Key, Member Card, and Oak's Letter, it was never distributed.
In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, it is obtained during the main story and transforms from the Celestica Flute. Obtaining Arceus in Legends: Arceus unlocks the Azure Flute as a save data bonus in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
In the core series games
Effect
In the Sinnoh-based games, although the Azure Flute can potentially be the first item the player obtains in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the player must enter the Hall of Fame and also obtain the National Pokédex to be able to use it. In Generation IV, Mystery Gift must be used to receive a Wonder Card with the Azure Flute, which should then be retrieved from the Poké Mart deliveryman (as modifying the save file to directly add the Azure Flute to the Bag will not affect the flag responsible for activating the event).
When the player reaches the Spear Pillar at the top of Mount Coronet and steps one tile north from the entrance, they will be prompted to use the flute, which will play a unique and eerie tune and reload the Spear Pillar map with a steep staircase that leads to the Hall of Origin. After it is used and once Arceus is caught, the Azure Flute will no longer trigger the entrance to the Hall of Origin when played at the Spear Pillar and the message "The Azure Flute echoed hollowly..." will appear. Should the player knock out Arceus, then the Azure Flute can be used to summon Arceus again.
In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, it transforms from the Celestica Flute after the player defeats Volo and Giratina at the Temple of Sinnoh. If it is used in the Temple of Sinnoh after every Pokémon (other than Mythical Pokémon) in the Hisui Pokédex has been obtained, the player can access the Hall of Origin and encounter Arceus. Like the Celestica Flute, it is used by the player to summon the rideable Wyrdeer, Ursaluna, Basculegion, Sneasler, and Hisuian Braviary.

Distribution
The Azure Flute was never distributed in the Generation IV games.
Junichi Masuda revealed in an interview with Nintendo World Report in 2013 that the Azure Flute was thought to be too confusing for players to use, leading to the decision to not distribute it.[1]
Despite the Azure Flute never having been distributed, the Wonder Card text for the Arceus distributed during Pokémon's 20th Anniversary made reference to it.
