InLeague Unleashed!, he passed the first round, then inCasting a Paul on Barry!, he made it through the second and had his third round opponent, Ash. He battled Ash and lost inWorking on a Right Move! after almost defeating him thanks to his strategies.
He made a cameo appearance in the ending credits ofZoroark: Master of Illusions.
Character
The most notable thing about Conway is his habit of appearing out of nowhere, whichDawn finds creepy. He is remarkably intelligent, and uses effective strategies such as usingTrick Room to hisDusknoir's advantage. However, he is bad at improvisation which led to his elimination from theLily of the Valley Conference inWorking on a Right Move!. He also has a habit of adjusting his glasses and chuckling in a creepy manner, which is displayed every time he appears.
