Piplup Location
Choose as Starter Pokemon at Lake Verity
Piplup is one of the three Starter Pokemon you can choose from when beginning your adventure at Lake Verity. Selecting a Starter Pokemon is a one-time, unrepeatable event, so choosing either Turtwig or Chimchar will prevent you from obtaining Piplup as its original trainer in your save file.

How to Get a Shiny Piplup
Piplup, as well as the other starters, are not shiny locked so make sure to save before entering Lake Verity.
You can keep soft resetting until you get a shiny Piplup. It may take you several tries though so be patient.
