* "Best" is subjective: What makes a card good depends on the format (Standard, Expanded, etc.), deck strategy, and even personal preference.
* The metagame is constantly shifting: New sets and cards are released, changing the power dynamics of the game.
However, here are some cards frequently considered among the top contenders for the "2nd best" title:
* Arceus VSTAR (Brilliant Stars): A powerful attacker with a versatile ability that can both heal and power up attacks. It's seen in a variety of decks.
* Giratina VSTAR (Brilliant Stars): Another strong attacker with a potent ability that allows it to potentially disable opponent's Pokémon.
* Mew VMAX (Fusion Strike): Known for its adaptability and ability to copy attacks.
* Palkia VSTAR (Brilliant Stars): A powerhouse attacker with a consistent ability that can hit hard and quickly.
* Duraludon VMAX (Chilling Reign): A strong attacker with an ability that can make it difficult for opponents to counter.
To give you a more accurate answer, you'd need to tell me:
* Which format are you interested in? (Standard, Expanded, etc.)
* What kind of deck are you considering? (For example, a deck focused on attacking, a deck focused on healing, etc.)
Once you provide me with those details, I can give you a better idea of which cards are currently considered top contenders in that specific context.
