In the human egg group;>Pokémon in this Egg Group, as the name implies, have similar characteristics to humans. They are fully bipedal, standing and walking on two legs. They also possess arms with which they could manipulate objects or deliver blows. The majority of members of this Egg Group are either of the Psychic or Fighting-type.

If you take a close look at Gardevoir… it’s not bipedal. No legs. At least none which we can see. In contrast the Amorphous group (Gardevoir’s);>Most Pokémon in this Egg Group are enigmatic in appearance, and the name reflects this. Its many members are based on a variety of things such as gases, blobs, inanimate objects and soft-bodied organisms. Most are capable of floating off the ground. Many of its members are Ghost-type Pokémon

It should probably be noted that in Gen 8, Gardevoir and its evolutionary line were changed to be in both the Amorphous and Human-like egg groups, rather than just Amorphous.

I don’t think Game Freak originally made Gardevoir have legs, but, in later generations (aka. 4,5,6,7…) they thought she would look better with them, especially because she already looks like a person, so they added her legs when they started making 3D games. But Gardevoir already was in the amorphous egg group, not the human-like. They couldn’t change her egg group so they had to keep her in the amorphous group.

I think the answer lies in gardevoir’s origin. Bulbapedia describes gardevoir as a ‘guardian angel’ or ‘a ghost that won’t leave this world’. This could suggest that gardevoir is not a physical being, so as a result it is not human-like.
