Scuttle Contest

At level 3, you lose the scuttle fight against Lee Sin almost every time — his Q into E gap-close, passive shield regeneration, and early burst damage far outclass your pre-6 kit, which has no reliable escape or burst to trade back effectively.
Avoid contesting scuttle directly; instead, take the opposite side scuttle or farm safely and wait for your power spike.
From level 6 onward, you win the 1v1 only when you can engage from stealth with full W passive stacks active, landing your E slow to keep him in range for your full combo — if he has his Q or E available to dash away or shield your burst, the kill is not guaranteed and you should disengage.

Lee Sin will most commonly start Red Buff side (Red → Krugs → Raptors or Red → Raptors → Wolves), then look to contest scuttle at level 3 with his strong early presence, often transitioning into an aggressive gank on a pushed lane immediately after.
Expect him to be highly mobile and to prioritize early skirmishes and vision control around river objectives, so track his pathing by watching which side laners get ganked first.

You should not invade Lee Sin early — his level 2-3 dueling power with Q poke, E slow, and passive shield makes him one of the worst champions to invade pre-6 as Evelynn, and your camouflage does not activate until level 6, leaving you fully visible and vulnerable.
If you want to invade, do so at level 6 or later when you have camouflage and your full combo, targeting his second buff camp when you have vision confirming he is on the opposite side of the map.

Do not attempt to fight Lee Sin when he has his Q available and you are not approaching from stealth — walking into his Q range without the element of surprise removes your primary damage advantage and he will out-trade you with his burst and mobility.
Additionally, avoid using your R as a pure damage tool in the 1v1; save it as a repositioning or disengage tool if he tries to kick you into a bad position or if you need to escape after a failed assassination attempt.
