All moves with a semi-invulnerable turn can still be hit by Helping Hand, a move following Lock-On or Mind Reader, Toxic if used by a Poison type in Gen VI+, or if either the attacker or target has No Guard (except for a few niche cases).

Bounce
Gust
Hurricane
Sky Uppercut
Smack Down
Thousand Arrows
Thunder
Twister

Dig
Bide (Gen 1)
Earthquake
Fissure
Magnitude
Roar (Gen I)
Swift (Gen I)
Transform (Gen I)
Whirlwind (Gen I)

Dive
Surf
Whirlpool

Fly
Bide (Gen I)
Gust
Hurricane
Sky Uppercut
Smack Down
Swift (Gen I)
Thousand Arrows
Thunder
Twister
Whirlwind (Gen II)

Sky Drop
Gust
Hurricane
Sky Uppercut
Smack Down
Thousand Arrows
Thunder
Twister

Phantom Force and Shadow Force can only be hit by the universal cases listed at the top of this answer.

No moves can hit Shadow Force directly, but you can hit if you used Lock-On or Mind Reader in the turn before.
Or if they have the abilty no guard.

The moves thunder, thunderbolt, twister, and whirlwind can all hit a pokemon even using fly, and as for dig there is magnitude earthquake and fissure. Using the psychic move Gravity will prevent moves like bounce and fly, as for shadow force, I don't think there are any moves that can hit when Giratina uses shadow force, you could switch for a pokemon that has a normal type to protect yourself from that much damage.

Ghost type moves have no effect on normal type pokemon.Same thing the other way round,too.
