This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Gragas.

Is Poppy better when played alongside Gragas?

There is no perfect synergy for Poppy that will always be her #1 ally. However, Gragas is a not very good ally for Poppy. By locking into the same side as Poppy, he drops their win rate by -1.4% to 48.3%. This demonstrates that there is a bad bond between Poppy and Gragas that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

Gragas has a lower difficulty than Poppy. That means Poppy players don't need to be cautious when enlisting Gragas teammates to fight alongside, as they will have to have a lower level of skill to cooperate well with you.

When playing alongside, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to tank a lot of damage. Combined, these two might be able to provide enough cover for their team's carries.

Conversely, by aligning Poppy and Gragas together, you probably will not be providing your other allies enough AP. Plan to include other champions on your team that offsets this disparity in their kit.

Regardless of the skill of your Gragas ally, you need to focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
