The main purpose of fleshy growths like that is often to increase surface area, either they are hard to touch on the outward part and soft at the bottom or produce a slime and are fleshy to function as a tool for the Pokémon in a task that it evolved for.
Considering Gardevoir is in the amorphous group I'm siding with slimmy texture.
