It has 60 HP wich is bad, 80 Speed wich is bad even under trick room, 90 defenses nice but not enough to compensate it's HP!
Shandelure has rock weakness wich means stealth rock is deadly for it!
It has many weaknesses and 55 attack means that it's walled by standard special walls especially the chansey/blissey duo! All this to tell you that even shandelure has some counters! It's fire type don't add much except givig it the worst 3 weaknesses a pokemon can have... Rock ground and water!
As for ghost and steel will present you with many resistances and immunities and your only weaknesses will be ground and fire!
But those defenses that you gave it means even your weaknesses won't be able to bring it down in one or two hits and with magic bounce you won't be able to KO it in any other way!
Xatu and Espeon both are perfect examples of magic bounce recipiants... Xatu have plenty of weaknesses and bad defenses while espeon has bad physical capabilities and bad weaknesses too! What magic bounce does for them, is give them a little niche of reflecting status and entry hazard to the opponent which prevents the opponent of choosing the undirect way of taking them down! Kind like taunt with a twist!
Ghost types are not exactly light... Example giratina and even dusknoir!
