Needs game version 1.3.0 or later, the Hall of Fame and National Pokédex, and Legends: Arceus save data with all main missions done; the Azure Flute then appears in your Twinleaf Town bedroom and is played at Spear Pillar. Still obtainable and not shiny locked.

Needs the Azure Flute, which Nintendo never distributed. Fan-run Mystery Gift servers (reached by setting a custom DNS in the console's Wi-Fi settings) hand it out as an unofficial gift. That could stop at any time. It can't be moved to Bank or HOME from any game.
