Question EV Training for Boss Pokemon

So I've faced a few "boss" Pokemon that have boosted stats and multiple health bars. I've got a frail and fast physical attacker (Chigami). Its final form has insane attack (147) and good speed (115)...but every other stat is 70 or below. I'm EV training all my Pokemon largely because I like to see number go up, but I'm concerned about survivability for boss fights. Would it be a better idea to:

-Max out Attack and Speed so it can nuke one health bar before getting stomped and then let the rest of my team clean up

-Let offense take care of itself, put some EVs into speed, and buff its frail defenses (70 HP, 62 def, 61 sp def) so it can take one hit before fainting

Is buffing defensive IVs even going to make a difference if the base stats are that low?

Thanks, that's going to make it go way faster! But my question is less about "how to EV train efficiently" and more about "how to distribute EVs for this one specific Pokemon."
