In this sentence the adverb pretty is used to modify the adjective good.

but all is adjective, I really don't know the distinctive meaning? could you explain to me ? thanks very much.

'Pretty' means 'reasonably' in this sense.

'That is a pretty close colour match' - it is not identical but it is reasonably close - it is not far out.

'I had a pretty good time' - it was not absolutely incredible but it was reasonably enjoyable.
