I'm level 32 and I've only ever done raids alone because of where I live so I can't get any really strong pokemon

Best non legendaries are probably Tyranitar, Machamp, Metagross, Salamence, Mamoswine.
Tyranitar - has two good movesets, either double rock type (Smack Down/Stone Edge), or double dark type (Bite/Crunch). Note, Smack Down was a community day move on Tyranitar, that you CAN’T get using TMs right now.
Machamp - Counter / Dynamic Punch is the move set you want. If you have dust and candy, getting a second move of Rock Slide means that the Machamp will have a super effective move against many of the things it’s otherwise weak against.
Metagross - Bullet Punch / Meteor Mash is the moveset you want here. Again, Meteor Mash was a community day move, and is NOT currently available by TM. Without Meteor Mash, Metagross is not nearly as good, and not really worth powering up.
Salamence - You want Dragon Trail / Outrage (if you evolved any during community day), Dragon Trail / Draco Meteor is good too (this is available now with TMs.
Mamoswine - Powder Snow / Avalanche is what you want, for an ice attacker. It can also be good as a ground attacker with Mud Slap / Bulldoze. However, whenever Rayquaza comes back as a raid boss, you want Ice move Mamoswines to attack it. Also really good against Dragonite and Salamence that you might find in gyms defending.
Rhyperior is a great Rock and or Ground Attacker.
Other good non-legendaries:
Espeon- Confusion/Future Sight (great for soloing Machamp Raids)
Electavire - Thunde Shock / Wild Charge (Highest DPS of any electric attacker)
Weaville - Feint Attack / Foul Play or Ice Shard / Avalanche - One of the best Ice and one of the best Dark attackers
Roserade - Razor Leaf / Grass Knot (The best grass attacker in the game) , or Poison Jab / Sludge Bomb (The best Poison attacker in the game- though poison isn’t very useful).
Gengar- Lick or Shadow Claw / Shadow Ball (Lick and Shadow Claw are both legacy moves, Shadow Claw is really old, Lick was available on last years Gengar Raid Day.
Blissey- Zen Headbutt / Dazzling Gleam - Still the best defender in the game - though defenders are not really necessary. All Blissey does is makes an attacker take a bit longer to defeat the gym.
Honchkrow - Best Flying type attacker in the game with Peck / Sky Attack. Also a good Dark Attacker with Snarl / Dark Pulse.
Lots of the community day starters are fairly good attackers with their community day move.
Now, If you want to do player vs Player, the list can become quite different, but I can’t help you as much there.
