Whaddya mean? Legolas brought down an Oliphaunt single-handedly.

The reason that I would place Pippin ahead of Sam and Merry is that, for all his (early) immaturity and his undoubted curiosity, he comes across to me as having a greater spiritual strength than the other two. Sam and Merry are more down to earth and practical, which is what makes them great "side-kicks". Pippin just seems to be much more akin to Frodo than either of them, on a spiritual level.
