The typical number of Block Bots connected to a Controller Bot is four, stacked on all sides except below and front, since the bottom side is reserved for levitating, and the front is, obviously, reserved for the face etc.. Block Bots may also levitate around and rearrange themselves while connected to Controller Bots.

A Block Bot (Japanese: ブロックボット Block Bot) is a type of robot seen in LaRousse City in Destiny Deoxys. They acted as the secondary antagonists near the end of the movie. They perform a number of functions, such as acting as a welcoming committee to visitors and taking pictures for passports. They can also join themselves together to form bridges, and act as LaRousse's defense system.

However, because of an attack from a Deoxys, their data was scrambled and became corrupt, causing them to attack innocent bystanders. In the final act, they flooded the streets and almost covered the Battle Tower. This indirectly led to the evolution of a Munchlax into a Snorlax, which Ash bounced on to get a passport to shut down the Block Bots. Eventually, they were shut down for repairs.
