I once found a shiny pidgey in a safari zone which was the first shiny pokemon I have ever found when playing this mod. I had no pokeballs and I knew if I went to get some it would despawn. I asked someone on the server to fetch me the pokeballs also telling him where I was at. He came with the pokeballs and then said he would try and catch it for me but unfortunately he killed it which was not the first shiny in pixelmon I had ever found, it was also the first shiny I had found in my entire history of pokemon.
The end
