One cliche in many series, is to have characters that normally enemies forced to put aside their differences and unite against a common cause or enemies.
I think it can be great if written correctly, or terrible. It also depends on the characters in question, you might agree with me or not, but I didn't like when Slade made a truce with the Teen Titans to take down Trigon at the end of the season 4 in The End, Slade a good guy even for a day, it just doesn't seem right to me.
I thought Ben 10 Grudge Match was a good episode, I thought it was fun and interesting, more than Ben 10: Alien Force Alone Together, which was more predictable and was very cliche. Even though the end result in that episode was important to the plot.
I also liked Avatar: The Last Airbender The Blue Spirit, that one had great action and showcased a great villain, even though the surprise was so obvious.
But my favorite right now, is Code Geass: Lelouch Of The Rebellion The Black Knights, that is argeueably the best episode of the series. My personal favorite, not only for the formal introduction to the world of the Black Knights, but to see all of the characters on the same side and realising that as different as people can be, they too can have the same feelings. The show typical likes to show how heartless people, especially the main and secondary main character can be at times, but this time, show how good people can be. I loved the twist of the cliche of the enemies unite for a common purpose episode, normally it is for survival, or save the entire world, which includes the characters obviously, because if the world is destroyed, they will be dead also. But here, none of the characters that put aside their differences to save the day, were in any personal danger, it was to save people they cared about, as well as innocent people they didn't know.
