No, wild shiny Pokémon do not have a 100% catch rate; they can flee like regular Pokémon, but shinies from raids and special events (like Legendary Raid Battles) are guaranteed catches on the first successful hit. The shiny encounter is rare, but once you find one, its catch rate (outside of raids) is similar to a regular Pokémon, depending on the game and situation.

What is afk shiny hunting?

AFK shiny hunting is a method, primarily in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, that uses game mechanics to repeatedly respawn Pokémon for shiny chances while the player isn't actively controlling the game, often for long periods, by setting up their character to continuously walk in and out of loading zones (like stairs or doors) or repeatedly use a bench to reset spawns. Players use objects like rubber bands to hold down movement buttons, allowing them to find shinies while doing other things, as shinies don't despawn in this game, making them viable for long AFK sessions.
