How many beings are truly in Stakataka?

Phyco says it is made of 150 beings,However, the Pokemon’s model clearly has 137 Blocks, each being one organism. (Trust me, I counted, 5 times). So which is it? (I personally believe in it being 137)Count them if you don’t believe me:

It’s really fitting I ask this question.

As always, Thanks!

I checked what Phyco says in the game, and the exact quote is:

The Ultra Beast Stakataka is actually composed of almost 150 smaller life-forms, which all create one shape. Be wary, Champion.

Note it saysalmost150. Now our definitions of “almost” may vary, but I think 137 is close enough.

For the record, I checked ahigher-res versionof the model sheet you posted and I count 137 too: each side has 8 “rows” with 3 bricks per row, that’s 3 x 8 x 4 = 96. There are 4 darker cornerstones for each row too (some of which drop down to make the “legs”), that’s 4 x 8 = 32. Plus 9 bricks on the top that makes 96 + 32 + 9 =137. In theory there could be another layer of bricks at the top that you can’t see from any angle but I don’t think it matters too much.
