Yeah, it does seem like they follow a formula. In Season 3a, I'm not sure how it works, cause Deucalion was clearly the stronger one, not the Darach, and they both teamed up with others (Scott and Derek respectively). But the Darach did gain the upper hand due to the Lunar Eclipse, and Scott eventually beat both of them without having to fight either of them. That season was kind of weird in regards to the formula.

It does seem, however, that they keep on killing off the mystery antogonist right before the obvious bad guy (Peter, Gerard, Deucalion/Darach?, Nogitsune, Peter) fully takes over.
