I hope you have pretty good. vs I hope you are pretty good.

The correct phrase is "I hope you are pretty good." The first phrase is incorrect because it lacks the verb 'are' to link the subject 'you' to the adjective 'pretty good.' In English, we use 'are' to connect the subject to the adjective in this context.
