Egg Groups Are For Breeding
2 Pokemon With Same Egg Group Creates An Egg
You must leave both a male and female Pokemon of the same egg group at the Pokemon Nursery to receive an egg. Breeding is the only way to inherit egg moves. However, if you don't have Pokemon in the same egg group, you can substitute a Ditto to breed with other Pokemon.

The Pokemon Nursery is the Galar Region's version of the Pokemon Daycare that has been present in most if not all of its games. You can leave behind your Pokemon in the Nursery to breed more eggs.
