Visual guide to allocating RAM
From Pixelmon Wiki
By default, Minecraft gives its clients 1GB of memory to work with. Pixelmon requires a bit more to work smoothly; 1500MB at minimum, with 3GB often being considered ideal. If you're experiencing a lot of lag or the game is not starting, try this quick guide.
