In: Key Items

Eon Flute
Location	Gift from Steven after battling Kyogre/Groudon during the events in Sootopolis City.
In-game Description	A flute that can summon Latios or Latias no matter where you are.

You will get the Eon Flute from Steven in Sootopolis City after catching or defeating Kyogre (AS) or Groudon (OR) in the Cave of Origin. This is an automatic event in the main story, which makes this key item unmissable.

You can use the Eon Flute to access the Soaring feature by riding on Latias (AS) or Latios (OR), which allows you to access Mirage Spots around Hoenn.
