Plus it does already have an analysis; you'd only be losing information by deleting it and only gaining information by updating it.

Ultimately it's up to you guys, but that's how I would have handled it last gen.
this really sums up my opinion. Machoke isn't bad. It is mainly outclassed by Gurdurr, but Dynamicpunch does a great job at deterring set up. Also, as Oglemi said, there is no harm in keeping it. All that would happen if we removed it is that there would be less valuable information on the site, its Zebraiken's decision though.
