In the main game, yeah, but the fact that Pokémon are visible in the wild already makes Pixelmon mechanically different from Pokémon. The battle-entry jingle isn't the feature being asked for.
I'm in support of this feature (shiny Pokémon periodically playing a short audio cue). I don't believe adding an audio source to shiny Pokémon would be that complicated, since their name crying already behaves the same way. Plus it would make the game more accessible for players with color-blindness who would have difficulty distinguishing shiny sprites from regular ones. And it would make shiny hunting at night and underwater more feasible, without having to swim into the face of every single Magikarp to see if it's golden, for example.
If not an audio cue, perhaps an asterisk or other indicator next to the Pokémon's name display.
