This are the workings of the flutes that you can get in the glass workshop.

250 steps: blue flute: awakens pokémon
500 steps: yellow flute: snaps pokémon out of confusion
500 steps: red flute: snaps pokémon out of attraction (love)
1000 steps: white flute: lures wild pokémon (i think that you have more chances of getting items from zigzagoon/linoone if you use this flute)
1000 steps: black flute: wards off wild pokémon
6000 steps: pretty chair
8000 steps: pretty desk
