'Pretend' can be used to describe a way of acting like someone or something.
Yes, you can say, "pretend like." Though, it will only make sense if you're asking something if someone: "pretend like this didn't happen."

Other reason

"Pretend" is to speak or act in a way to appear as something or someone else.
"I pretended to be a soldier" is someone looking, and acting like a soldier, while in reality, they are not. Think about when kids play, and one of them says "I'm a dragon", and they start making noises, and moving in weird ways. The kid is pretending to be a dragon, when in fact he/she isn't.
Also, "Pretend like" isn't a good way to state it, when pretend is used, it is most often used as "Pretended" or "Pretending". Only on certain cases is "pretend" used by itself.

To act like something is true or actual when it isn't.
Yes, you can say pretend like, pretend that, pretend as if.
Pretend that you know what the answer is.
To succeed in business, you have to pretend like you are the best.
I don't know who she is, but I must pretend as if I do.
