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).

Phantom ForceandShadow Forcecan only be hit by the universal cases listed at the top of this answer.

Thunder, Thunderbolt, Twister, Gust, Sky Uppercut - can hit fly and bounceEarthquake, Magnitude, Fissure - can hit digNot sure what can hit shadow force

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.
