Aim to lower the raid Pokemon's Defense or Special Defense stats to help your and your allies' attacks hit harder.
Additionally, try to only use moves that are super-effective against Steel-types, as they are able to resist most moves from other types.
Steel-type Pokemon are immune to Poison-type moves, so Acid Spray will not have any effect on them.
