The blocks can rearrange themselves, allowing Stakataka to change shape or move in a coordinated fashion, giving it a mechanical appearance.

As an Ultra Beast, Stakataka is primarily encountered in Ultra Space, a mysterious dimension accessible through Ultra Wormholes.
Typically found in remote, desolate areas when it appears in the Pokémon world.
Known for its peculiar construction, it is often mistaken for a man-made structure or a building.
Exhibits a herd mentality, with the blocks working collectively as a single entity.

Its low Speed can be advantageous in Trick Room teams, allowing it to move first.
Notable moves include Gyro Ball, which capitalizes on its low Speed, and Stone Edge, providing strong Rock-type coverage.
Has significant weaknesses to Fighting, Ground, and Water types but resists Normal, Flying, and Psychic moves.

Evolution:

Stakataka does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon. It is a standalone Ultra Beast.

Interesting Facts:

Stakataka is one of the Ultra Beasts, a group of extradimensional Pokémon introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon.
Its design is inspired by the concept of a living building or fortress, with its blocks acting as individual, sentient components.
Known in the Pokédex for its extraordinary defense capabilities, likening its form to a tower that can withstand heavy attacks.
The name "Stakataka" is likely derived from "stack" and "attack," reflecting its blocky appearance and battle prowess.
