If you mean an archnemesis in the sense of who his most prominent enemy is, it would have to be Gyaos. It's the only foe Gamera has fought in multiple movies, being the only Showa era enemy brought back for the Heisei trilogy and even again in the forgettable 2006 film.
But as for a foil character, I wouldn't say Gamera really has one. A foil is a character which mirrors traits of the main character. I guess the closest would again be Gyaos, as both he and Gamera are aerial combatants and fire a projectile weapon from their mouths, but that's really where the similarities end.
And on that note, while King Ghidorah is definitely Godzilla's archnemesis, he's not his foil either. That'd have to be Mechagodzilla.
