I received a shiny piplup with defiant from a giveaway!Since I have 1 legit shot to make it great, I thought to ask the experts how it should be trained. I am increasing each stat by 8 beforehand, otherwise it is untouched.
Update: It has a calm nature, with 6 for every stat besides attack (which is 5) and HP (which is 12).

What Astronautical and sumwun said is right. Calm Nature is bad on HA Piplup/Prinplup/Empoleon. Breed until you get a Adamant Nature and Perfect Ivs. Here’s a Set and Ev Spread that Can Be good for HA Empoleon:
Empoleon @ LeftoversAbility: DefiantEvs: 252 Atk / 252 Hp / 6 DefAdamant Nature (+Atk, -SpA)
