Is MirageCraft not running as smoothly as you want it to be? There might not be enough RAM allocated to Minecraft.

While in the Instances tab, go to MirageCraft's modpack and click
Settings. Go to Java/Minecraft in the window that appears and input the amount of MB you want to allocate to Minecraft. 2-3GB (or 2,000MB-3,000MB) is recommended for Pixelmon.
