Depends on how you say it and in which context.

A shrug and a “pretty good” = acceptable, not worth complaining about.

A slow grin first or it being said loudly = better than good, great.

Although this depends on how emotive the speaker is.

if someone shrugs with pretty good

or shrugs with good

to me the former is still better than the latter.

I don't see a way for pretty good to mean less than good
