What type of bug are you reporting? Mechanics

What is the bug?
I was playin a pokemon showdown match in ADV OU, and i got to a point where my swampert had 29% HP after a fire blast from a charizard, after which the burn got it to 13%. Anyways im running the offensive salac berry variant, but after i got hit with the fire blast, my berry didn't activate. I am very confused as to what happened, and the guy i was playin with had no clue what happened either. Here's the match for more info, i apologize if i missed something very obvious. the match

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
Sadly, didn't try replicating it due to a lack of people i really know who play ADV OU and the extremely specific circumstances under which it happened (did enough damage to get me to 13%hp post burn, in sandstorm) i apologize

This is not a bug to my knowledge. End-of-turn effects (which includes berry activations in adv) activate in a somewhat unintuitive order. Essentially, the salac berry checked whether the swampert was below 25% before it took the burn damage, and then after the burn damage happened it would not check again until the next turn.
