Okay, Character Shilling isn't quite what I'd label it. Character shilling tends to have a bit more about people saying you are that good when it seems to the audience you haven't earned it.
For a bad example, see Cynthia complimenting Paul. For a good example, see how XY Ash is treated by everyone around him.
Ash doing the things isn't shilling, it would be shilling if Misty said Ash did the things and we never see it, and Ash doesn't quite live up to said hype.
