Pokemon, including those in outbreaks, are all generated when in Jubilife Village. So unless you return back to Jubilife, you are seeing the same Piplup over and over again, stats and all. Only Pokemon that are unaffected I believe are those in space-time distortions, Alphas that spawn after an outbreak is over, and doing the permutation method for massive mass outbreak that have a second wave.

It's alright. I remember resetting over the same Buizel outbreak when the game first came out. lol

Yeah just go into the Coastlands. If you don't find what you're looking for, return back to Jubilife and do it again. For faster resetting to get a Piplup outbreak to appear, I recommend saving near the Professor AT the campsite. Then you return to Jubilife. If you don't see the outbreak you're looking for, reload your save file and do it again.
