Is Irelia better when played alongside Graves?

There is no one best companion for Irelia that will always be her top teammate. However, Graves is a very typical ally for Irelia. By locking into the same team as Irelia, he drops their win rate by -1.0% to 48.8%. This proves that there is not really a strong synergy between Irelia and Graves that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Graves has a lower difficulty than Irelia. That means Irelia players don't need to be cautious when finding Graves allies to fight alongside, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

Fighting together, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal physical damage. Combined, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by grouping Irelia and Graves together, you probably will not be providing your other teammates much utility. Plan to bring other champions on your team that offsets this relative hole in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Graves teammate, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
