Why arent ghost pokemon immune to all contact moves? How does it make sense that an Onix using headbutt will always miss but a durant using Iron Head will hit?

Gameplay balance. You could make ghost immune to all physical moves and take double damage from all special moves but that would make that one type stand out too much.

Its not like ghost is that great of a type to begin with. Just make them have lower stats than average if they must. They made wonder guard which is dumber work, they could make this work too

Iron Head has magic elemental power of Steel. Magic hits the ghost. Normal moves have no elemental aspect to them so they do nothing (some Fighting moves like Aura Sphere should hit ghosts)

Steel by itself isnt magic, steel is fucking steel. You cant cut a ghost with a common sword. Your argument would make sense for Flash Cannon, which is magic steel beam bs, and it would still hit

Types are elemental in Pokemon, they use elemental energy to power their attacks. Dragons use dragon energy, Ghosts use ghost energy, Steel types use steel energy. It's always been this way.

Please differentiate why a Geodude's rollout and tackle would be different types if attacks weren't based around magic type energies.

Yes the elemental properties of Beat Up, which is just calling all pokemon to hit another, including any normal or fighting type in your party.... and it just works

Durant chanells the element of steel to use Iron Head. If he just hedbutted you with his metal covered head it would be just Headbutt

Wrong, one of the most balanced types in both offense and defense is ghost. Likely to be in the top 5 overall best types along with stuff like steel and fairy.

Only 2 weaknesses and one of them its itself, 2 unique immunities and 2 resistances.
Extremely spammable unless opponent has a normal or dark type, easy to combine with a secondary typing to be able to hit 99% of things with at least neutral STAB.

Thats either a normal or a fighting type move.
What's next, all rock pokemon using double edge have it automatically turn into head smash?

There's a reason why mons who use iron head in the show often cover themselves in a steel like energy before smashing into the opponent.
