Best Cards in the Game? Pachirisu is okay, but...

To be fair, Joker, both need the other in order to maximise success...
You can't, realistically, have one without the other.

There is no "best card", it depends on the deck you play. Hey rare Candy is a great card, but do you run it in Magmortar if you don't have Typhlosion?
There is almost NO card that fits in EVERY deck. No Search Supporter, since Celio doesn't get Pokémon-ex and there are still decks where Mentor is better than Rose. No Draw Supporter, because it highly depends on if you need cards in discard pile, play your hand immediately out or collect large hands etc.. The card that occurs in most of the different decks is imho Night Maintenance, but I think everyone can agree that this is NOT the best card in format.
Another thing, trainers are used in more different decks than Pokémon. You just can't compare them, like you can't compare energy cards to trainers or Pokémon.
Since the topic title mentions Pachirisu - if you ask for the best staple Pokémon, I would say it's claydol. Why? You can play it most decks, Gardy, Magmortar or completely different decks. It solves all problems with Absol, TGW or deck death. It combines with Steven and TGW and gives insane draw Power. And - most people still forget - Claydol also works with other decks than Gardy and Magmortar.

1. Celio's Network - Best card in the game. It's just in everything
2. Team Galactic's Wager - So ridiculous with Claydol and Gardevoir and it's in everything
3. Rare Candy - Amazing in any Stage 2 deck
4. Scramble Energy - In the top 2 decks and completely changes games
5. Double Rainbow Energy - Speeds up so many decks
6. Pachirisu - Amazing to set up decks like Magmortar, etc and makes Windstorm not needed, opening up space
7. Claydol - One of the best powers of all-time
8. Furret - Sets up GG amazingly
9. Gardevoir - Powerlock is simply amazing and it's the cornerstone of GG
10. Magmortar lvl X - Disgustingly broken card
11. Gallade - This card basically makes things unplayable
I couldn't make this 10.
Just missing: Gardevoir lvl X, Magmortar, Warp Point, Night Maintenance

Yeah, I would pick Celio's Network. There isn't a deck that shouldn't use Celio's Network, it's probably the only card you can say that for.
I'd pick Claydol over Pachirisu for best Pokemon. Just keep in mind the best deck doesn't use either.

The absolute BEST cards in the format are as follows, in no particular order:
-Gardevoir SW
-Gardevoir Lv X
-Gallade
-Rare Candy
-Double Rainbow
-Scramble
-Magmortar SW
-Magmortar Lv X
Aside from these, all else pales in comparison. They are the keys to the best two decks in the format, and, as such, are on a level all of their own.

Well, it seems pointless to compare trainers/energies, support pokemon and main pokemon at the same time.
But broken down, here it is:
Trainers/Energies
Celio's is broken in this format because it's meant for last format, nuff said. DRE and Scramble were also meant for last format, and such are broken too. Apart from those, it's debatable.
Supports
IMO Furret, Stantler and Clay are the best. Furret is godly if you get it out, 2 cards of choice? Need I say more? Stantler pulls out your supporters and continues to remain useful after your bench is ready, with evolving and such. Clay has a godly draw power and owns wager. After these 3, I'd say Pachi, cuz it gets rid of Cess and some other annoying tools, and 3 basics are pretty nice for most decks. After that I'd say it's debatable.
Main/Attackers
Honestly, there's little competition here. Magmortar/X, Gallade and Gardy/X rule here. After that I'd say Garchomp and the new Eeveelutions, but nothing major apart from Mag and GG.
