Mandark is Dexter's rival. The two clash a lot though Mandark does have a serious thing for Dexter's sister Dee Dee.
Plus, the episode "Dee Dee's Rival" did a Gender Flip of this trope by pitting Dee Dee against Mandark's sister, who was apparently created specifically for the episode and proceeded to never be mentioned again. She nonetheless went through the complete arc of this trope during her brief screen time, right down to the grudging respect (by the end of the episode, she and Dee Dee have decided to be friends).

Take a Red Oni, Blue Oni pairing and make them rivals, and you've got Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd's conflict down perfectly.

And it seems in all that time, Elmer never learns to see through Bugs' lame disguises.
Daffy Duck is a rival to Bugs in a different way. An egotist to the core, Bugs is the Always Someone Better whom Daffy can never seem to best.
Sylvester to Tweety. At first, it seems like a predator-prey thing, but like the case with Tom and Jerry, this has become a personal obsession for Sylvester. Why else would he be so dead-set on catching one little bird? (In fact, one cartoon ends with him deciding to fold and go to a restaurant for spaghetti, but this attempt to quit didn't last.)
Dear lord, the Roadrunner to Wile E. Coyote. No matter how many times his ill-conceived plans to catch the speedy bird fail, often with himself getting hurt in the process, Wile E is certain to be back on his feet soon with a new Acme product and a renewed drive to do so. Sometimes a viewer can't help but admire such determination.

In "Lisa's Rival", Lisa forms a one-sided rivalry with the new girl, Allison Taylor. Too bad she is Demoted to Extra for the remainder of the series, even after their reconciliation. (It seems any new girl in school is destined to be Lisa's enemy — see also "Lard of the Dance" and "Smart and Smarter").
In can also be said that Marge has an occasional rivalry with her gossiping fair-weathered acquaintance, Helen Lovejoy.

Of course, while It's Personal for Plankton, Krabs is Only in It for the Money (which is, of course, the only reason he has for anything).
General Grievous and Obi-Wan Kenobi are constantly running into each other, almost to a ridiculous degree. Each time they fight, they can never seem to truly best each other, and they do begin to gain a bit of respect for each other, though with Grievous it's in his own, special "a quick death isn't good enough for you" kind of way.
If any cartoon was defined by a rivalry, it was Tom and Jerry. While Tom is usually the aggressor, he seems far more obsessed with winning than hurting Jerry, while Jerry seems far more content with humiliating and outwitting his foe.
