Use Jeff's Heavy Bazooka too, but do NOT use Multi Bottle Rockets! Once you've finished Carbon Dog, he'll transform into Diamond Dog. Diamond Dog has a power shield, and if you finished Carbon Dog with a physical attack, it will be reflected back at the attacker, which is why MBRs are a really bad idea. Diamond Dog has LOTS of HP and no real weaknesses. His bite can Diamondize you, and his lethal "glorious light" attack is equivalent to PSI Flash Ω and will likely paralyze or kill anyone without a Night or Sea Pendant.

After defeating Diamond Dog but before going into the sanctuary, you'll want to shuffle your items a bit. Be sure Ness has the Sea Pendant and Franklin Badge. DO NOT EQUIP THE CASEY BAT! Clear his inventory out of any other items and then give him a few good healing items, like Magic Truffles and Brain Food Lunches. Bags of Dragonite are good, too.
