This is indeed very true, anonymous, especially when it comes to tamed mimikyu and pikachu. Oftentimes, tamed pokémon will recognize their relationship as a sort of family to each other over inherent rivalries, so even supposed mortal enemies such as mimikyu and pikachu can get along quite well if their trainer understands how to meet their needs equally (both physically and in terms of affection) and provide them with a comfortable setting to interact.
